Mr Gill was yesterday acquitted by a District Court jury in Perth of raping a 25-year-old female passenger.
His friend, Amrit Pal Singh, was found guilty by the jury of raping the woman in the back of his cab in a North Lake carpark, while she was drunk and semi-conscious after a hen's party.
Singh will be sentenced next month.
Gill testified in court he had gone to the car park to deliver drinks and had seen the pair having sex but had not had any contact with the woman..........

Gee, so in Autralia they don't have tests to confirm if the girl had a sex and if she did who was her partner, was it cab driver?
ReplyDeleteDNA testing could be simple answer.
Anyway, it's a good think to have camera in your cab or at least some kind of recording device as a proof against some crazy accusation from passengers in front of Cops.
It happened to me before
