Bus Driver Guilty of Assaulting Student
Description
Auckland bus driver, Kartik Kamiesh Kumar, found guilty of indecently assaulting a female passenger. The incident occurred in February 2022, when the driver turned off the lights, refused to let the passenger off at her stop, and inappropriately touched her. The driver claimed he thought she had stolen something, but the prosecutor disputed this. The victim testified via video link from her home country, describing her fear during the incident. The driver, a Fiji-born man, was not convicted to avoid immigration issues. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for late May.
