In May 2021, an intoxicated Oklahoma woman called an Uber to take her home from her niece’s engagement party. Although the ride should have only taken 23 minutes, when she woke up hours later, she wasn’t home, but seated behind the steering wheel of a strange car, with her underwear in her purse and her jeans on inside out.
Her mind blurred with confusion and her body covered in bruises, she went to the hospital and was given a sexual assault examination, according to a civil lawsuit against Uber and the driver, seen by The Independent.
