A TAXI driver accused of indecently assaulting a nurse in her own home is facing a retrial.
The jury trying Michael Oakden of Regent Avenue, Little Hulton, was discharged following legal submissions. He will now face a fresh trial before a different panel on a date to be fixed.
The prosecution at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court claimed Oakden, aged 30, assaulted the 27-year-old woman after she allowed him into her home to use the bathroom.
The defendant denied the indecent assault.
