A 42-year-old Uber driver has been accused of raping his 20-year-old passenger while she was intoxicated on a ride from a Tampa, Florida, nightclub to her hotel.
"The Good Samaritan later told law enforcement that she did not think that JANE DOE was capable of arranging a ride for herself given her condition," a lawsuit filed against Uber in March states.

What the good Samaritan did not know was that the 42-year-old driver, Anthony Oliveras-Rivera — who was employed by the ride-share app despite having a lengthy criminal history — would pick up the intoxicated woman and allegedly attack her in his vehicle for hours.
