A taxi driver was yesterday granted bail when he appeared in court charged with making sexual advances to a woman.

Joel Witter, 26, of 53 Block Y, Grove, East Bank Demerara, yesterday appeared before Magistrate Fabayo Azore and pleaded not guilty.

According to the charge, on July 19, at South Ruimveldt, being hired in a public place by the woman to take her to Providence, East Bank Demerara, Witter took her somewhere else and made sexual advances to her with the intent to annoy her.

Magistrate Azore later granted Bagot $25,000 bail and the case was subsequently transferred to a Court 11 where it will be heard on July 27.
