Dublin taxi driver must pay passenger €1,600 after telling her 'you look sexy'
A Dublin taxi driver must pay €1,600 to a female passenger as redress after he subjected her to "interrogation" by repeatedly asking if she was single or lived alone and saying, "You look sexy".
Lucas Bittencourt (39), of Upper Dominic Street, Dublin, was prosecuted by the National Transport Authority (NTA).
He pleaded guilty to using obscene and offensive language toward a passenger in Dublin on May 14th last year.
He appeared before Judge Anthony Halpin at Dublin District Court on Monday.
Prosecution solicitor Jason Teahan said the woman reported that she flagged down the taxi in the city centre and asked to be brought to Northwood, Dublin 9.
She had been in the back seat, and they "chatted generally." Bittencourt said he was Brazilian, but the conversation became "a bit more personal, and he started asking her, 'Do you live alone?' before they arrived".
