A taxi driver was on Tuesday hauled before the courts for sexually assaulting a schoolgirl.
Nowrang Samaroo, called “Fenton” of Canefield, East Canje, Berbice appeared before Magistrate Peter Hugh charged with sexual assault.
It is alleged that on January 8, 2019, at Vryheid Road, New Amsterdam, Samaroo sexually assaulted the teenager while she was a passenger in his motor car. Samaroo, who was unrepresented, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Police Prosecutor Inspector Bernard Brown had no objections to the accused being granted bail. He was placed on G$75,000 bail and would make his next court appearance on January 29, 2019.
It was reported that on the day in question, the teen plunged out of the suspect’s car after he attempted to rip off her clothes.
The teenager reportedly boarded the car outside her school with the intention of heading home. However, during the journey, the driver allegedly started to make sexual advances at the teen. Soon after, he reached across to the teen and started to take off her clothes, but the teen opened the door and jumped out.
She was picked up by another driver and taken to the Police Station where a complaint was lodged.
