A taxi driver has had his licence suspended after being charged for allegedly touching two women while on duty.
Bennet Adolf Corry, a self- employed driver with Cheap Cabs Taxi Company, pleaded not guilty to two charges of indecent assault in Waitakere District Court.
Police documents alleged 50-year-old Corry continuously tried to touch the leg of a female passenger while taking the 27-year-old home from a friend's party at Auckland's Hangar Bar in May.
The second victim, who had also been drinking, was picked up from a Westmere home at 4.20am when Corry allegedly reached over and touched her leg. She pushed his hand away and told him it was not acceptable before ringing her partner for safety, court documents stated.
On both occasions, police said Corry did not charge a fare despite the women offering to pay.
