Black Cab driver David Jacobs, pictured today outside Inner London Crown Court, is accused of raping a female city worker in her 20s after he picked her up from near St Paul's Cathedral on February 3 Jacobs, who denies the charge, is accused of raping the woman inside her flat Amanda Hamilton, prosecuting, said the woman recalls Jacobs asking her to show him her breasts during the journey to which she pressed the record button on her phone. During the recording, played to jurors at Inner London Crown Court, Jacobs can be heard saying ‘You might as well let me f*** you’. The woman claims she woke up the following morning lying next to a pile of her vomit with no recollection of opening or closing her front door. She later told police she recalled a man with a hairy body and pot belly pulling a dress over her head, then having sex with her. Jacobs, who has worked as a taxi driver for more than 20 years, denies rape and claims the woman was flirting’ and making ‘sexual advances towards him’. He maintains that the woman consented to sex at her flat. Amanda Hamilton, prosecuting, asked Jacobs about his police interview in which he was asked by the police officer if he had ever had sex with a passenger before. Jacobs had replied: ‘Oh mate, I don’t know, a few years ago when I first got the cab and [a woman] started talking about Fake Taxis (porn site) where the bloke picks women up and if they can’t pay in cash they have to pay in another way and all that. ‘I didn’t have sex with her but it was like an encounter, do you know what I mean, I’m not proud of it.’ Ms Hamilton asked: ‘So, when the officers asked if you had ever had sexual relations with a passenger you brought into your cab you said yes?’ The married father-of-two replied: ‘I didn’t understand the question, I thought they meant like talking’ Jacobs said, shaking his head. ‘I was in a high-pressure situation, I thought they were going to investigate the situation,’ said Jacobs. ‘So this previous encounter was sexual chat and not sexual touching in anyway?’ said Ms Hamilton. ‘Absolutely not,’ replied Jacobs. Jacobs, of Barking, Essex, denies rape. The trial continues. Share or comment on this article: All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
