A man who pretended to be a taxi driver to rape a woman was sentenced to 11 years in prison on Thursday.

Paul Michael Causer from Deptford picked up the woman one morning last year and drove her to an isolated area in Godstone – he then forced himself on her before leaving her on the roadside.

Afterwards he tried to steal hundred of pounds from her bank.

The victim has spoken out about her awful night and has warned people about using unlicensed taxis.
