Prosecutors in Thurston County filed charges Tuesday against an Uber driver who is accused of driving an intoxicated female passenger to a secluded area and raping her over the weekend.
Ahmed Hassan Ali, 58, of Seattle, faces one count of rape in the second degree and one count of kidnapping in the first degree with sexual motivation aggravating circumstance.
According to the arrest report, Ali was driving for Uber Saturday morning when he gave a ride to an intoxicated woman who was at a bar in Olympia.
Investigators allege Ali marked the woman’s ride as complete in the Uber app but kept her in the car and drove to 6th Avenue SE in an unincorporated area of Thurston County and raped her.
The victim’s family became alarmed when she did not arrive at the house and her father tracked her location to a parking area near the Nisqually River, the arrest report said.
The father and other family members drove to the location and found the woman unclothed in the backseat of Ali’s car, and Ali appeared to be pulling up his pants while climbing over the center console, according to the sheriff’s office report.
Investigators said family members assaulted Ali and took the woman out of the car. At some point during the confrontation, the victim’s father fired a gun twice, but the bullets did not strike anyone, according to the report.
Neighbors called 911 to report the gunfire and deputies stopped Ali’s vehicle as he was driving out of the area. A deputy noted that Ali was bleeding heavily from his head and hands when he was contacted, but the report notes Ali was in a hurry to leave and initially refused medical treatment.
Prosecutors said in a court hearing Monday that Ali’s injuries were so severe that it was suspicious Ali would attempt to refuse medical care.
A judge set Ali’s bail at $100,000 at the hearing. Jail records show he posted the bail Monday night and was released from custody.
Ali is scheduled to appear at an arraignment on July 2.
Uber sent the following statement to KOMO News in response to Ali’s arrest:
The driver’s behavior is appalling and has no place in our society or on the Uber platform. We take reports of this nature very seriously and removed the driver’s access to the platform as soon as we were made aware of the incident. We have a dedicated team standing ready to assist law enforcement with their investigation.
“At some point during the confrontation, the victim’s father fired a gun twice, but the bullets did not strike anyone, according to the report.”
Somebody needs more range time.
$100,000 bail? You get that around here for jaywalking.
“Investigators said family members assaulted Ali”
As may happen in Thurston, but not King County.
“A judge set Ali’s bail at $100,000 at the hearing. Jail records show he posted the bail Monday night and was released from custody.”
Seattle, where they need to make room for firearms law violators in prison by bonding out violent sexual predators.
Bail? Wow! Must be anti-islam hate huh. He should be back picking up clients. AKA victims.
Who misses cabbies?
Re “… Ahmed Hassan Ali, 58, of Seattle…”
No, he’s not “ of Seattle”.
He’s “of some third world muzzie craphole “ and should be deported back to it.
After letting the male relatives of his victim play some Louisville Slugger time with him for an hour or two.
That’s right.
Or leaving skid marks on a gay pride crosswalk.
He’ll be the mama in prison (unless he’s prosecuted in a lib city with Soros prosecutors).
does Ahmed come from a culture in which taking liberties with an unaccompanied female is considered ok?
1) Foreign invaders aka migrants
2) Democrats
3) LGBTZRSTUVWXYZ+ regardless of party
4) "People of Color" regardless of party
5) Muslims
6) Republicans in general
7) White, Christian, straight men
Soros probably paid his bail.
I can’t believe this rapist was released.
The left has turned Seattle and Portland into sh#tholes like they do every other city they run.
Not me, the same ‘death to America’ people who used to be ‘cabbies’ are now doing rideshare.

If he raped my daughter and was released on bail my son and I would be looking for him. The Commanche’s used to skin their enemies by pulling a long piece of skin, about 1” wide off slowly.
Caught in flagrante delicto
seems like they had to behave themselves better when they were cabbies.
That owner/company needs to be sured royally!
No one is safe anymore. 1,000 times worse than yesterday.
Ali's 8 wives and 53 children were all present at the arraignment hearing.
