LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An Uber driver accused by prosecutors of having sexually assaulted a female passenger after she sought a ride home from a gathering in the upscale seaside city of Newport Beach, California, was charged with rape on Wednesday.
Angel Sanchez, 36, was arrested a day after the March 30 attack, which took place on a street near the woman's home in Santa Ana, California. The victim in the case was not identified by authorities.
Sanchez, who is scheduled for an initial court appearance in the case next week, faces a maximum sentence of eight years in prison if convicted.

Finance? O.K.
Take a look at the comments.
Is he here legally?
Normally a Reporter would be asking Loretta Sanchez why her Brother did this. If she was a Republican at least they would.
Dunno. At least a couple of the commenters asked that question.
If he’s not here legally, I’m sure
A) he’s just doing the crimes Americans refuse to do. /W
or B) He did it out of love. /Jeb
or C) That’s not who we are! /Obama
or D) He’s a dreamer! /Nancy Pelosi and the DNC
or E) Good thing we blocked President Trump! /9th Circus Court
As a woman who has used taxicabs all of my life, I refuse to use this type of cab. The whole concept bothers me, and I only use the longstanding cab companies that have been in our community for many years.
I would rather take a bus.
Is he an illegal? If so, Uber has a real problem on its hands. Whatever lawsuit this woman might file has just doubled or tripled in value.
LOL!!
Yes, be careful.
The Fourth Estate and the DNC are ardent supporters of Fifth-Columns.
Guess it remains to be seen if that applies here.
But it definitely applies every day, regardless.
Yep, or they would make a statement like, it is unknown if the rapist is related to the Republican congressman.....

Well...where ELSE is he going to rape her? It’s a CAR SERVICE fer Pete’s Sake!
*HEAVY SARCASM*
(Because the Bolsheviks at DU like to make me their, ‘Person of the Week’ from time to time, LOL!)
LOL!!
“And Uber apparently hired Eric Holder.”
They had Plouffe a while back.
I don’t get it with this company ... they seem to be hated by the libs. They seem to hire Obama lackeys to maybe stave off threats from localities that are owned by taxi companies. The media seems to love trashing Uber any chance they get. I guess the political class see the big pile of money they have (they’re burning through it from what I’ve read) and want a piece of that action.
I have no love for that company, but do love how it disrupted the whole taxi industry. I know some Uber drivers are scum, but I suspect there are scummy taxi drivers out there that you don’t hear about.
Those cab companies at least up here are mostly operated by Muslims now.
That is true. If we hear nothing more on this, particularly if he is illegal, we’’ll know.
“Is he an illegal? If so, Uber has a real problem on its hands. Whatever lawsuit this woman might file has just doubled or tripled in value.”
Perhaps not. The trial will be in California where the judge and jury will certainly be progressives who fully sympathize with what they perceive as the struggle of the disadvantaged in a morally bankrupt and prejudiced society. A skillful defense attorney should be able to explain the need to give the accused a pass on the charges even if he did commit the crime.
Haitians and Somalis down here. Last cab driver I had that spoke English was in London.
