Retrial for East Lancashire private hire driver over indecent assault claims

A private hire driver accused of indecently assaulting two female passengers is to face a retrial after the jury failed to reach a verdict.

Younis Hussain Zaman, 32, of Higher Antley Street, Accrington, stood 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 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.

The trial is set for September 26.
