Uber Driver Referred To Criminal Court In ‘AlTagamoa Girl’ Incident
The Public Prosecution has ordered the referral of an Uber driver to the competent criminal court for the crime of kidnapping a female through deception, with the felony of indecent assault by force and threat.
It was proven in the Public Prosecution’s investigations that the accused did not initiate the trip notification, and he also closed the application at the location of the incident to prevent it from being tracked. He then took her to a desert road away from the eyes of passersby.
He then stopped the car, exited, and assaulted her in the victim’s seat, preventing her from resisting. During the assault, he caused her injuries and threatened her with a knife. She managed to call for help from two passersby, whose testimonies corroborated her account during the investigations.
However, The Public Prosecution heard from Uber’s legal representative regarding the incident.
