An 84-year-old taxi driver who sexually abused his adopted daughter over a ten-year period has been jailed for three and half years. In an emotional victim impact statement read out in court this week, Ms Kelly, said he had “no regard, no remorse, no humanity”. The court heard the abuse took the form of Walker repeatedly kissing and fondling his daughter when they were alone. The abuse ended when Ms Kelly confided in her brother’s partner on the night of her mother’s funeral in April 2000. Kathleen Leader SC, defending, said her client was a taxi driver for 47 years and he was supported by several of his fellow taxi drivers in court.
