Fake Cabbie Arrested, One Victim Speaks Out
The man who attacked two women this weekend after picking them up under the guise of being a legit livery cab driver has been arrested. One of Torkieh Sadagheh's victims, Monica Maneiro of Morningside Heights, hailed his car after getting off work at Scores strip club on Saturday night; the 23-year-old recounts what happened next:
"Out of nowhere he just stopped the cab and jumped in the back seat. He grabbed me and had his hand over my face. When he was trying to restrain me I was just trying to calm him down. I didn't really fight back too much because if I would have he probably would have gotten more upset. So what I did was I was just trying to calm him down. I was trying to open the door at the same time without him seeing."The two fell out of the car when the door opened and when she saw a real cab coming by she got in, memorized Sadagheh's plate number and called the police. Just 30 minutes later Sadagheh struck again, but this time his victim, another 23-year-old, was not able to escape. After he raped the her she took down his plate number as well, linking up the two attacks.
Manhattan special victims unit detectives were already waiting for Sadagheh that night upon his return home. After his arrest, the 28-year-old told the police they're wrong, declaring, "Absolutely not. Those accusations…those were drunk women. Nothing is rape." The police believe he is not only responsible for the weekend attacks, but also rapes that happened last year outside of L.E.S. club The Box. The Daily News reports that Sadagheh recanted a statement that he was the attacker spotted in the rapes outside The Box. After not being identified by the victims from last year's incidents, he was not charged for those rapes.

"those were drunk women. Nothing is rape."
Yep, they were memorizing your plate number so they could get in touch and send you a thank you card for the backseat wonderland you took them to buddy. Oh yeah, be prepared to learn about the actual existence of rape in the near future.
Impossible is nothing is rape.
GUILTY!
Send the dirtbag back to Afghanistan.
SHE works at Scores??? I could see MAYBE the old Baby Doll Lounge on White Street or some shithole out by JFK, but not Scores.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Kudos to the young lady for keeping her wits about her in that situation. Do they teach survival techniques at Scores?
guilty! death by firing squad.
Wonder if he'll still think there's no such thing as rape after he gets his in prison with a shiv.
If this bastard gets off on a technicality, I'm going to lose even MORE faith in the criminal justice system.
And don't even get me started on when they parole rapists. I pretty much think they ought to get the firing squad treatment.

Castration is cool with me.
Castration isn't enough. Death to all rapists and pedophiles!
I hope his dick falls off.
