MANHATTAN DA’S PLEA DEAL LETS ALGERIAN TAXI DRIVER AVOID JAIL; VICTIM SAYS SHE WASN’T NOTIFIED

Breitbart, citing the New York Post, reports an Algerian national taxi driver in NYC allegedly groped two passengers in separate incidents. He was arrested in December 2024, later pleading to disorderly conduct in March with a conditional discharge; a second related charge is reportedly sealed. The Manhattan DA’s office apologized for shortcomings in victim communication, and the driver’s taxi license was reportedly reinstated. The driver’s immigration status is not confirmed in the reporting.
