Crawley taxi driver accused of sex attack on woman in back of his cab
A TAXI driver has appeared in court to face two charges of sexual assault and one of theft.
Abdul Karim, of Edinburgh House, in Holyrood Place, Broadfield, is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Burgess Hill on August 15 last year.
On the same day he is accused of stealing an iPhone.
He is also accused of sexually assaulting another woman in Haywards Heath on August 30.
Karim, 32, pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
Sally Leggett, prosecuting, told Crawley Magistrates' Court last Wednesday (January 15) that one of the alleged offences took place in the back of Karim's taxi.
Both alleged victims were described as "young".
Deputy District Judge Nicholas Easterman committed the case to crown court and released Karim on unconditional bail.
He is due to appear at Lewes Crown Court on February 13 for another hearing.
