A taxi driver who sexually assaulted three young women within two weeks has been jailed for five years

Criminal Courts of Justice Image: Sasko Lazarov via RollingNews.ie Criminal Courts of Justice Image: Sasko Lazarov via RollingNews.ie A TAXI DRIVER who sexually assaulted three young women within two weeks has been jailed for five years.

The court heard at a sentence hearing last month that Uddin sexually assaulted two of the women on the same night after demanding that one of them get out of his taxi when he saw her trying to get a photo of his identification. Seamus Clarke SC, defending, said the bail conditions had been put in place by the High Court and that gardaí policed Uddin while he was on bail. His license was revoked when he subsequently entered guilty pleas in February.

She said the mitigating factors were his guilty plea, his losing his livelihood, his losing of his tenancy, his difficulties in early life, his mental health difficulties, his previous good character and his lack of previous convictions.Sergeant Cronin told McMullan that the first woman, a 19-year-old German national, continually pushed Uddin’s hand away as he rubbed her knee and leg while driving. He told her she had “a beautiful heart”.

He wiped away her tears and rubbed her face and lip before brushing his hand down the right side of her body. When she arrived at her home he asked her if she needed a hug before he leaned in towards her as if to kiss her. Sergeant Cronin said this girl noticed that Uddin’s identification was behind the CD player. She accepted a call from a friend while in the taxi and tried to give her some of the details she could read off his identification.

She doesn’t sit in the front passenger seat of a taxi anymore and tries to always have someone with her when she needs to get one. She said she is more self conscious when she hears someone coming from behind her or towards her.

Not sure if anyone on here knows this but after he was caught, he was let out on bail with strict instructions from the judge not to have young women in the front seat while continued to taxi around. She(judge) felt that as a poor immigrant that he still had to work. True Story.
