An English Businessman visiting Barbados who stashed a $50 note in the bosom of a female taxi driver and then slapped her behind said: “we were joking”.
But this was no joking matter for Bridgetown Magistrate Kristie Cuffy-Sargeant when 44-year-old James Patrick O’Rouke, of 50 Peach Road, Willehall, West Midlands, England pleaded guilty to unlawfully assaulting Charmaine Alleyne and resisting police constable Shaquille McClean in the execution of his duty on May 19.
An immigration officer who was in court revealed that the Englishman arrived on island on May 12, on a 10-day visit but was granted a three-month stay
He is remanded to return before the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday for sentencing.
