Taxi Driver Online

This is just in the 'Tuesday court round-up', but you won't read of many incidents like this in a taxi


Taxi ‘indecency’

https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/lo ... indecency/

A woman is to stand trial accused of exposing herself to a taxi driver and coercing him to touch her indecently.

Irene Torrie allegedly committed the offences while she was a passenger in his car on May 29 last year.

Torrie is accused of sexually assaulting and coercing the man by communicating indecently with him, exposing herself to him, touching him on the legs, chest and privates.

The 41-year-old allegedly kissed him, stated that she wished to have sex with him and induced him to touch her indecently before sitting on him.

The offences were allegedly committed on Bridgend Street, Balmuir Road, Ambleside Grove and other roads in Dundee.

Torrie is also alleged to have acted in a racially aggravated manner towards two people on Balmuir Road on June 1 by shouting, swearing and making racist remarks.

She allegedly made derogatory remarks towards the same two people on August 1 before making sexual comments to one of them.

Torrie, of Step Row, allegedly breached an undertaking to appear at court by contacting the two people.

At Dundee Sheriff Court, solicitor Scott Norrie tendered a plea of not guilty to all charges on Torrie’s behalf.

A trial was fixed for February.

But in view of previous reported incidents, this is precisely how you'd expect her to behave in a taxi if the driver was unlucky enough to pick her up and maybe get into some sort of argument with her. And I'd guess this is just the tip of an iceberg of stuff that's never reported.

Bizarro doesn't cover it

Irene Torrie told the conductor he could 'take her anywhere' after a prosecco binge in Glasgow.


This is a summary of a previous incident

Note that press reports of the latest court case involving the taxi driver won't be able to mention the earlier incidents until the current case has concluded, because of the contempt of court rules. I think

there you go Stuart if she goes to St Andrews drinking it could be your lucky night !


there again I would think she's probably got every STD under the sun

Lots of people would consider your post to amount to 'misogyny', including licensing councillor types.

And it's proposed that misogyny becomes a hate crime

In fact, the most prominent proposal in that regard came from our friends at the Law Commission:


Misogyny 'should become a hate crime in England and Wales'

https://www.theguardian.com/law/2020/se ... commission

Law Commission, which recommends legal changes, calls for sex or gender to be protected trait

otherwise you may as well ban all stand up comedy

actually no because where the comment is clearly labelled as a joke it is almost impossible to prosecute that in a court of law

I don't think claiming something is a joke would be a defence if prosecuted for a hate crime

The CPS or whatever it's called up there can apply for bad character to be shown to the court.

But the driver was very wise to report this to the police, hopefully he has CCTV evidence.
