Brisbane: A 37-year-old Uber driver was charged on Friday with raping a 16-year-old passenger in the eastern Australian city of Brisbane.
Queensland state police said the man raped the teenager in his car on July 8, and the girl reported the assault to police the next morning. Police have released no other details, including the driver’s name. The arrest comes a week after another Uber driver was charged with raping a passenger three times. Police said the two cases are not related.
“The behaviour described by Queensland Police is absolutely deplorable and our thoughts are with the woman and her family,” the company said.
Despite the reported assaults, Police Acting Detective Superintendent Mick O’Dowd said officials are not concerned about Uber’s safety record.
