Glasgow women speaks out after private hire sex attack
Shortly after entering the vehicle, she quickly sensed the driver had a 'creepy aura about him'. He then put his hand on her thigh before the assault started. She told the Glasgow Times: "I got picked up by myself and he sexually assaulted me on my way home and kept me hostage essentially until eventually he took me back. 'I said 'I'll do whatever you want just take me back to this address' and then I managed to run out of the car.' READ NEXT: 3 suspects accused of murder of man in Glasgow 20 years ago READ NEXT: Glasgow man stealing from cars spat and told cops he had HIV She continued: 'It was a 10-minute journey but I think I was there for close to an hour. 'It's a bit of a blur but it felt like forever.' She reported the attack to the police as soon as possible. The victim said: 'I came home and I didn't shower. My automatic response was I wanted to but I didn't. 'I went to the police station as soon as I could and they managed to get evidence from the encounter which was weirdly a big relief. 'It's a bit of a rank thought but it's a relief because it proved it happened and also if he ever does it again then his DNA's in the database.' So far, no one has been linked to the attack. The woman also provided police with a screenshot of the booking. She added: 'The last update I got was the DNA evidence being retrieved but it wasn't a match for anyone on the database.' Since the attack, the woman has not taken a private hire on her own and says she wouldn't get one on her own with a male driver. She said: 'I wouldn't take a taxi on my own, just with people. I certainly wouldn't at night that's for sure." However, she says she would 'absolutely' be comfortable using a woman's only taxi service and says it is 'incredibly insulting' that there is not such a service currently available in Glasgow. READ NEXT: Council asked to reconsider stance on female only private hire service The Glasgow Times reported Govan Law Centre is asking Glasgow City Council to reconsider its position on allowing a women-only firm to be licensed following a recent ruling by the UK Supreme Court. A previous attempt in 2019 was rejected by the council on the grounds of discrimination. The woman said: 'I think it's an insult to women for even daring to request safety for women. 'It's become quite a big part of the day or night is worrying about I'm going to get from A to B so it would be a huge relief.' She continued: 'An empty carriage on a train seems quite eerie but at least there's CCTV there. 'A taxi is claustrophobic, you're confined, there's no CCTV, there's no one else monitoring the situation, you're just relying on this person who's got the wheel who'll determine your fate essentially.' The victim used to work in hospitality, something she really enjoyed as she liked being around people. However, after the attack she left her job and now works for a call centre from home. She says she has seen an increase in the number of epileptic seizures she's had due to stress. She said: 'I've just worked from home since which has been quite reclusive. 'Having worked in hospitality for 10 plus years and then having to work from home it with the effect of what's happened, it's just made me a bit more reclusive.' She continued: 'My nervous system has been shaken up. 'I'm epileptic and I've had an increase in seizures since it. 'My anxiety levels have spiked and impacted my epilepsy as a result.'

Lily Allen moving out of swanky New York pad after sad David Harbour split
Smile star, Lily Allen, used to share a New York townhouse with her ex, Stranger Things star, David Harbour, but now they've split up, she's made a huge change Lily Allen has confirmed she's moving out of her home in New York following her split with David Harbour. The Smile star, 40, and Stranger Things actor, 50, got hitched in 2020, but called it quits last year amid reports of David's infidelity. Mum-of-two, Lily, bought the art deco home in Brooklyn with David shortly after their nuptials in Vegas and it even featured in posh magazine, Architectural Digest, thanks to its impressive features and stylish decor. However, Lily, has now left the property and bought an ex-council flat in London, where she's been busy throwing herself into decorating, which she says has 'helped' her through her 'hard time'. It comes as the star was spotted in the capital, wearing a diamond band on her wedding finger. READ MORE: Princess Andre eyes up Kylie Jenner empire as Katie Price says she's been 'shut out' Lily told The Mirror that she's been taking inspiration from interior design magazines for her new pad, which is believed to be in Notting Hill, sharing: "I'm really enjoying those at the moment. I've obviously had quite a hard time and that's really helped me." She also spoke about her new purchase, which she'll live in with her two daughters, on her Miss Me? podcast back in March, as she chatted to co-host Miquita Oliver. She shared: "This flat that I've bought, is in a social housing building, I have kind of given myself a 'get out' clause because it is slap bang in the area which I grew up in, so I don't feel like I am coming from outside and coming into the area and gentrifying it." Lily added: "I have wanted to live in this building since I was a baby, it's been a dream of mine forever and finally a flat became available in here and I was in a position to buy it and I did. But I know people have got judgement around it." With Parisian-inspired rooms and an enormous walk-in wardrobe, Lily's former townhouse was a sight to behold. However, the singer admitted she felt 'incredibly low' and lonely in New York as she opened up about her break-up. The Londoner, who confirmed her split from David in January, revealed that she felt 'extremely heavy' as she 'doesn't have that much to do here' in the city. She moved to Brooklyn in 2020 to be closer to David, enrolling her daughters in local schools. However, it's now all over for the couple, with Lily now back in Blighty and reportedly signed up to exclusive dating app Raya in an effort to move on from her marriage. She has already been romantically linked to actor James Norton. However, it was recently reported that he had been getting cosy with someone else. Speaking to the Mirror, a source said: "James and his female pal certainly didn't care who was looking. They were happy sitting outside the bar getting very cosy with one another despite the scorching temperatures across London." They added: "At one point, the woman was seen resting her hand on James' bare knees as they engaged in a deep conversation. It's a stark contrast from his recent date with Lily Allen, but it's clear that he's not short of female attention."
