Taxi driver charged with sexually grooming minor

A taxi driver was yesterday granted his release on $200,000 bail after he denied a charge of sexual grooming.

Daniel James was brought before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, who read him the charge during an in-camera hearing in Georgetown.

It is alleged that James on January 18th intentionally met a child, having communicated with her on at least two occasions in Whatsapp messages, from December 12th, 2017 to January 18th, intending during or after the meeting to commit a relevant offence, being engaging in sexual activity with a minor.
