The injured party stated she has struggled with mental health since the incident, felt 'extremely guilty'' and started to 'obsess and worry about seeing this man again and is still fearful of getting into a taxi alone'
A West Belfast taxi who caused a female passenger to sexually touch him in his car was today handed a three-year probation order.
He was flagged down by the victim and her then boyfriend who asked him to take them to the Grosvenor Road. The plea document stated: "The boyfriend did not come back to the taxi and the accused drove to a side street a short distance away believing that the complainant wished him to do so. The defendant then got her to touch him sexually but he now "accepts by his plea of guilty that she did not consent to this and it was not reasonable for him to believe that she did''.The court heard the father-of-five had since separated from his partner over the incident. Haughey, who had been a taxi driver for 20 years, had also lost his job.
