      The safeguarding risk of Deliveroo’s rent-your-account-to-anyone is seriously understated. A woman living alone has no idea who she is opening the door to at night, Deliveroo has no clue either and is not accountable. This is so dangerous. This pervert was only identified because the Morrisons from which he collected the food had cameras.

      The sentence is an insult as well.

      Deliveroo (or any of the companies) need to be fined a **huge** sum of money every time an illegal migrant uses their app to deliver food. Where I live in London the channel migrant hotel nearby always has food delivery bikes parked outside despite the fact they’re not supposed to be working.

      To enforce this rule Deliveroo could change the app for riders so that once every hour or so, the driver has to verify their identity with a fingerprint which would be tied to their original ID checks, getting them to regularly prove it is actually them delivering it.

      (Additionally, it should be a legal requirement they have a full moped license not just a learner one.)

      People have got to start seeing this service as inviting a stranger to your house.

      Whilst ever decreasing workers rights are a massive part of the issue here. We know the market and the government won’t solve that

      That poor woman. The assault is already horrific, but he directly caused a miscarriage. What an awful loss. What a monster.
      Deliveroo should be forced to pay damages to her.

      There needs to be emergency legislation brought in to stamp out delivery drivers from subletting their accounts. It needs to be made a criminal offence, with prison time for the account owner and crippling fines for the parent company. How long before one of these unknown, untraceable individuals goes on to kill somebody?

      As a woman living in England I would never order delivery if I’m home alone. 100% chance it’s an illegal immigrant with zero right to work, right to drive, who the government will be lucky to trace if something happens. And then evening they are caught they get absurd sentences like 12 months for rape/forced abortion. The government COULD stop this. The companies COULD stop this. Both are greedy, cowardly cunts.

      Sounds like it’s time to boycott delivery services until they can be verified as being safely run legitimate business models that don’t pose a risk to the safety of all of our vulnerable neighbours and loved ones. Imagine that was your sister or mum.

      Next time you’re faced with a 15 minute walk there and a 15 minute walk back to collect food from a place, do it, don’t keep voting for this to happen by giving your hard earned money in support of it. Stand in solidarity with the victims of this type of crime, this is what our neighbours on the continent do so well, that we envy so much. Start standing for those YOU care about.

      Because of this, i call my husband to open the door in the evenings. It is ridiculous that I am in this situation and I don’t feel safe. I know it doesn’t matter if it is in the evening or morning but at least I can call my husband in the evening. 80% of times someone different from profile is delivering my food. It says Sarah but I get John.. I don’t want to report them, because maybe they work illegal in the UK and they need money, but I see I am in the wrong. Maybe I have to report it.

      Absolutely disgusting. How they fuck does someone get 12 months for forcing entry into a home to sexually assault a pregnant woman causing a miscarriage???? Guaranteed if this happened to the judges female family members the sentence wouldn’t be an affective slap on the wrist. Fucking abhorrent.

      I will no longer use Deliveroo or any delivery service that fails to check who is working for them. Fuck them. Vote with your wallet if the justice system can’t fucking deliver justice.

      The poor woman! I hope she’s getting the mental support she needs. This man is worse than an animal! I agree with the other comments. These gig economy rent accounts need to be stopped.

      Can’t seem to find the name of the sentencing judge anywhere. Not reported in any articles, no remarks from them, can’t find the case on the Scots Courts website. I feel like people deserve to know the names of the judges giving out these ridiculously lenient sentences. They’re responsible for damaging public trust in our judicial system. They should be vilified in public life for this as much as the assailant is (not promoting violence or harassment against them btw, just that everyone should know who they are and treat them with the appropriate level of disdain).
      This is assuming the judge was in control of the length of the sentence.

      > He was found guilty in December 2024 at Glasgow Sheriff Court, where he was handed a 12-month prison sentence and placed on the sex offenders register in February this year.

      12 month prison for such a horrible crime? The elites in this country have built a disgusting justice system, haven’t they?

      12 months for almost the worst crime possible?! Rape leading to the death of a unborn baby.

      No doubt once out he will be allowed to stay.

      No benefits from unlimited migration can possibly be worth these risks.
