A CABBIE who molested a teenage passenger is behind bars awaiting a long jail term.
Zameer Arshad, 23, was found guilty of sexually assaulting the 17-year-old, after a trial at Burnley Crown Court.
The defendant, of Richmond Hill Street, Accrington, had denied the allegation.
Judge Beverley Lunt remanded him in custody until February 10, for a pre-sentence report and told him a custodial sentence of some length was inevitable.
The judge, who ordered him to sign the sex offenders’ register, said she would have to consider the issue of dangerousness.
