A taxi driver who allowed his cousin to rape a 15-year-old girl in his cab on Dec 31, 2009, in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, and helped him cover up his crime was caught on Monday, Wenzhou City Daily reported.

The driver, Wang Wenkai had evaded the police for one year. He said that he tried to tell his cousin not to rape the girl passenger, but he couldn't stop him, because he was afraid of what his cousin might do to retaliate.

His cousin was captured and sentenced to seven years six months in prison.

Wang said that he never had any agreement with his cousin about the crime and felt bad for the victim.
