Taxi Driver held for Alleged Assault on Passenger

Filed under: Legal News — vtpeertopeer @ 12:55 am

Hey guys I just got back from Seattle and I wanted to share this somewhat repulsive auto related crime coming out of the Denver area. According to the Denver District Lawyers Office a cab driver, Patrick McCracken, 39, is accused of sexually assaulting a female passenger. The defendent in this case has said that the encounter was consensual.

However, prosecutors have contended that it not really possible for the victim in this case to give her consent since she was very drunk at the time of the attack. She had apparently been celebrating her 21st birthday, when she rode in McCracken’s auto. She said that she passed out in her home and upon waking up she was alarmed to find the defendent on top of her, and the prosecution believes that this was no accident. She has also claims that he gave her a credit card receipt and then told her to clean out his auto since she had the nerve to throw up in the auto during the ride to her residence.
By the way if you happen to live in Seattle or the greater Seattle area and you need a wonderful seattle auto accident lawyers then by all means go to this website. Here you can find some of the finest seattle auto accident lawyers as well as if you need an accident lawyers.

Because of these particular facts the Denver District Lawyers Office prosecutors states that the victim was not capable of giving her consent to have sex with McCracken as stated by the 39 year old man.
All in all, he is being held in lieu of $35,000 bail after being charged with the alleged sexual assault. This guy had better have himself some good lawyers.
