A MAN raped a woman after pretending to be a taxi driver and forcing his way into her home at the end of the journey.
Shabir Sultani, 27, was found guilty of rape and sexual assault for attacking the woman after she had been on a night out.
The victim had been out with a friend in Sheffield but decided to go home, leaving her friend at the club.
As she walked out of the club, she got into what she thought was a taxi, with the driver, Shabir Sultani, telling her he was a taxi driver and would take her home.
When they arrived at her home in Chesterfield, he followed her to her front door, forcing his way into the property.
Despite her telling him repeatedly she wanted him to leave, Sultani continued to kiss the woman before raping her.
The woman managed to get him off her by kicking him.
Sultani was identified using CCTV footage and automatic number plate recognition of his car.
He was arrested and subsequently charged with rape and sexual assault.
The 27-year-old of Sturton Road, Sheffield, denied the charges but was found guilty after a trial at Derby Crown Court in November.
He was handed a sentence of 13 years.
