Taxi driver charged for raping passengers

A taxi driver appeared before Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Wednesday charged for raping three female passengers before robbing them.
Lindon Daniels was not required to plead to the offences, the first of which alleged that he engaged in sexual activity with a woman over the age of 17 at New Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD) on February 18, 2019.
It is also alleged that on January 30, 2019 at Kuru Kuru, Soesdyke, EBD, he engaged in sexual activity with a girl under the age of 16.
Further, it is alleged that he engaged in sexual activity with another woman over the age of 17 on February 13, 2019 at New Providence.
The Court also heard that on two occasions, Daniels stole phones belonging to two of the victims. He denied this allegation when he was allowed to enter a plea.
Bail was denied after the Police Prosecutor objected to it being granted based on the seriousness of the offence. Daniels was remanded and was scheduled to make his next court appearance on Friday, March 1, 2019.
