A Windsor man is facing charges after a woman was forcibly confined and sexually assaulted inside of a vehicle she ordered from the ride-share service Uber.
The woman requested the lift through the service around 2 a.m. on Sunday.
The driver drove his vehicle to a parking lot enroute to the requested destination, where he got into the back seat and forcibly began to touch her in a sexual manner, and forcibly kissed her.
The woman exited the vehicle, got another ride to her destination and immediately contacted the police.
Police said the driver was located and arrested a short time after the incident.
A 42-year-old man has been charged with one count of sexual assault. He is scheduled to appear in court in relation to the charges at a later date.
This is an ongoing investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact our Major Crimes Unit at 519-255-6700, extension 4830, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 (TIPS).
