A Romanian taxi driver raped a female passenger in the back of his cab after she fell asleep following a night out, a court has heard.
Ioan-Cristian Manole allegedly took advantage of his 'very tired' lone female customer after she dozed off in the early hours of the morning.
Prosecutors claim Manole, 45, parked his cab in a secluded area on a road before removing the sleeping woman's leggings and underwear.
The mother-of-three, in her 40s, woke up and found Manole raping her, leaving her in 'hysterics', it was heard.
The alleged attack happened in the Fareham area of Hampshire, after the woman - who can't be named for legal reasons - booked a taxi home from a friend's house.
