Taxi driver held for touching girl, 12

A 51-year-old taxi driver was arrested by police on Saturday and charged with sexually touching a 12-year-old girl.

He was expected to appear in court on Monday.

He was held during a sting operation in the Eastern Division.

He was later charged with two counts of sexual touching of a child.

On July 25, the Eastern Division Child Protection Unit received a report of sexual abuse of the child while her mother was at work. The police report said the child told police the man entered her bedroom to touch her.
