Women were kidnapped, battered, raped, falsely imprisoned, stalked, and harassed in rides, according to a filed complaint
Uber Technologies could be sued by more than 500 women across the US who claim to have been assaulted by drivers.
Uber has long struggled to handle complaints of misconduct on the ride-sharing app. Just two weeks ago, the company released its second safety report that showed it received 3,824 reports of the five most severe categories of sexual assault in 2019 and 2020, ranging from “non-consensual kissing of a nonsexual body part” to “nonconsensual sexual penetration”, or rape.
Uber has faced several lawsuits against it from women alleging sexual assault by drivers. In 2018, it agreed to settle a class action case brought by two women who claim they were taken advantage of by drivers after they had consumed alcohol. Uber has faced similar complaints in countries beyond the US. Uber’s licence was revoked in London twice in three years over concerns that it wasn’t adequately verifying drivers’ identities.
