A taxi driver was yesterday remanded to prison after he was read six charges, which included three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault.
In the courtroom of Magistrate Leron Daly stood the accused, Lindon Daniels, to plead to the allegations. The charges were read to Daniels during a closed hearing, given the nature of several of the offences.
It is alleged that on January 30, at Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke/Linden Highway, Daniels engaged in the sexual penetration of a woman without her consent.
Another charge stated that on the same date, he robbed the very woman of a Samsung J2 Prime, valued at $33,000.
The third charge alleges that on February 11, at New Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD), he sexually assaulted another female by pulling down her underwear.
Daniels is also accused of stealing from the person in the aforementioned charge, a Samsung Grand Prime Plus valued at $45,000, US$60 and $1,000 in local currency.
The final two charges allege that on February 13 and February 18, at New Providence, EBD, the accused engaged in sexual penetration of two different females.
It is alleged that the accused picked up the women in his taxi and raped or sexually assaulted the individuals before robbing them.
Daniels was remanded to prison on the charges.
He is set to make his next court appearance before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan on March 6.
