A TAXI driver has appeared before Blackburn magistrates charged with indecent assaults on two female passengers.
Younis Hussain Zaman (32), of Higher Antley Street, Accrington, was directed to stand trial at Preston Crown Court after denying two charges of indecent assault and two of plying for hire when he was licensed for private hire.
Andrew Robinson (prosecuting) said the two females were aged 18 and 21.
Zaman was alleged to have taken one to her home in Clitheroe and then offered to let her off with the fare in return for a kiss. He had allegedly repeated the offence the next day with a woman who he had taken to Langho. On both occasions Zaman was alleged to have kissed the women and touched one of them in a sexual way.
He was remanded on bail for the preparation of committal papers with a condition he does not enter the Ribble Valley.
