SENIOR Magistrate Leron Daly on Wednesday, February 27, 2019, remanded a taxi driver to prison for sexual assault, three counts of rape and two counts of simple larceny.
Lindon Daniels made his appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court where the matter was held in-camera and was not required to plead to the rape charges since they were laid indictably.

It was alleged that on February 18, 2019, at New Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD), Daniels engaged in sexual activity with a woman, without her consent.
It was further alleged that on February 13, 2019, at New Providence, EBD, the defendant engaged in sexual activity with a child who was under the age of 16.

The last rape charge read that Daniels, on January 30, 2019, at Kuru-Kuru, Soesdyke, EBD, engaged in sexual activity with a woman without her consent.
It was further alleged that on the same day, he stole the victim’s $37,000 Samsung cell phone. Daniels, however, denied the charge.

The last allegation against Daniels stated that, on February 11, 2019, at New Providence Public Road, EBD, he assaulted a woman by pulling down her underwear. He also pleaded not guilty to the charge.

It was also alleged that Daniels stole the woman’s Samsung cell phone valued $45,000; GYD1,000 and USD 60.00. Daniels denied the simple larceny charge.
Magistrate Daly remanded Daniels to prison until March 1, 2019.

The Guyana Chronicle was made to understand that Daniels is a taxi driver and is not known to his victims.

It is alleged that Daniels picked up the victims in his motor car and while taking them to their desired destination, he stopped at an isolated area.
Daniels reportedly raped his victims and took away their cell phone before leaving them in the deserted area.
