A female university has allegedly been raped by a London cab driver outside her flat in Peckham. 

On Saturday 26th of October between the hours of 2.15 am and 3am, Amy  a 20 year old student from Kings College London University, was allegedly raped by a cab driver in his cab outside her flat in Peckham.  

Printworks Nightclub

The unnamed driver collected Amy from Printworks venue in Rotherhithe around 1.45am. She left the club early being described as “bare drunk” by friend Annie who waited for her Uber with her. The uber which had been ordered had a similar number plate to the cab which she entered alone. 

When they arrived at the flat Amy knocked on her flat door as she didn’t have keys. Her flatmates were asleep and she repeatedly banged on the door attempting to wake them. The driver then invited her into the car as it was cold outside. She reluctantly went back into the cab. He then raped her in the car, penetrating her vagina before leaving her outside the flat in the cold.  

Amy reported the incident to the Police the following day, shortly after a private hire cab driver was arrested and released under investigation. As of yet there is not enough evidence to convict the suspect. The suspect has agreed to an ID parade, which will take place in the coming weeks.
