Taxi driver, 74, admits sex assault

A black-cab driver who sexually assaulted a 21-year-old student in the back of his taxi has been spared jail.

William Gross, 74, convinced the woman to chat with him for a few minutes after taking her to Blackheath on May 19.

Blackfriars crown court heard that Gross, a widower who had been a taxi driver for 31 years, then tried to kiss her and grab her breasts.

Gross, of Point Clear Bay, Essex, admitted sexual assault and was given a three-year community order and placed on the sex offender register for five years. He was ordered to pay £2,500 compensation and £300 costs.

Gross,


What an appropriate name and what a lucky chap he is that he was spared jail

Also this tale may confuse some on here as it doesn't fit their stereotypical view of licensed rapists.
