UBER is again at the center of a very serious controversy after a man posing as a ridesharing platform driver raped 8 women before being arrested, and there are fears that he may have filmed the rapes. The man has been arrested since January by the US police, after a woman filed a complaint against him because he kidnapped and raped her, his car having stickers stuck on it showing it as one from UBER, although he no longer collaborates with the platform since 2016.
UBER he does not seem to have followed the former drivers who are still driving cars that have markings that identify them as those from his platform, and thus the man would have succeeded in deceiving 8 women whom he kidnapped and raped. The rapes took place between 2017 and 2019, the man using a car with UBER markings to pick up drunken women near bars in Boston, who were then raped in his car, 5 of the rapes apparently being filmed.
UBER: The man who RAPEED 8 Women Posing as a Driver
UBER it is the platform that was used every time by women to call cars to take them home, and that's how they entered the man's car, without checking if it was the one they called in reality. The man denied all the accusations of kidnapping and rape, but he remains under arrest, he is the brother of a local councilor from the city of Boston, but probably the latter did not know what the former driver of the ridesharing platform UBER was doing.
A man who was arrested for driving as an Uber driver before raping a woman has been linked to seven other similar crimes, authorities say. Police say his car was emblazoned with Uber stickers, even though Campbell hasn't worked for the ride-hailing firm since 2016. The details of each account vary, but in all cases, Campbell targeted women at or nearby bars or other locations. where intoxication had rendered them incapable of consenting or resisting."
UBER he did not comment anything about this situation, but the problem itself is an extremely serious one, and shows us again why it is important to be sure that we get into the car that we called. Those from UBER display in the application where the called car is in relation to our location, and send a notification when it reaches us, but when you're drunk, unfortunately you don't pay much attention to this information.
UBER has implemented a series of security measures for customers who use its ridesharing platform, but people also need to respect them to be truly safe.
