There is no publicly available data for the number of sexual assaults by Uber drivers or for drivers of other rideshare companies. The Uber driver allegedly carried her into her apartment, threw her onto the bed and sexually assaulted her. It said any serious criminal convictions, like sexual assault, sex crimes against children and kidnapping, would disqualify candidates. The Boston Police Department received 24 complaints or reports of Uber drivers allegedly sexually assaulting passengers since 2016. In Austin, police have documented at least 16 sexual assault complaints about Uber drivers -- and at least ten about Lyft drivers -- since 2015.
