A man driving for Lyft is accused of trying to lure at least two Princeton University students, according to the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office.

In one reported incident, a female university student was on Prospect Avenue around Noon on April 16, 2026, when a car stopped and the driver asked for directions, officials said.

The driver gave the student a $100 bill, got out of the car and then demanded a sexual act from her, officials explained.

According to prosecutors, the girl dropped the money and ran away.

The driver was found to be in a black-colored Jeep Patriot during this incident, officials said.

Then, in another incident the next day on April 17, a second female student was on Ivy Lane around 9:30 a.m. when a person in a dark-colored van or SUV stopped and asked for directions, prosecutors said.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Guy belongs in jail. What was he thinking? Princeton girls might do it for grades, but certainly not with a Lyft driver. He didn't know his place.

the driver handed the girl a $100 bill and asked her to leave with him but she returned the money and the man drove away.

I would have taken the money and run.....

What kind of vetting do the drivers for these services go through? Is there even any review of their driving records?

I’ve used taxi cabs all my life, but they were established services with drivers who did it full time. This whole new Uber-Lyft-etc. thing makes me very nervous.

Probably a Mennonite, or a Dutchman or maybe New Jersey man.

Idiot! I always used an ice cream van with brightly colored balloons.

Bet that wasn't the only black-colored thing the victim saw that afternoon.
