Rideshare service Uber is being sued by a minimum of 50 girls, in keeping with a criticism reportedly filed Wednesday.
The lawsuit, filed in San Francisco County Superior Court, claims that “women passengers in multiple states were kidnapped, sexually assaulted, sexually battered, raped, falsely imprisoned, stalked, harassed, or otherwise attacked” by their Uber drivers, in keeping with CNBC. The submitting detracts from a security report Uber launched on June 1 through which the corporate claimed that sexual assault reviews have been down.

The case was filed by attorneys from Slater Slater Schulman, CNBC famous.
“While the company has acknowledged this crisis of sexual assault in recent years, its actual response has been slow and inadequate, with horrific consequences,” the agency’s founding companion Adam Slater stated in a press release. (RELATED: ‘Rape Office’: Elon Musk Hammers NBC’s Many Scandals)
Despite introducing new security options, Uber reportedly acquired 3,824 reviews between 2020 and 2021 alleging the “five most severe categories of sexual assault and misconduct.” The variety of complaints constitutes a drop of 38% in comparison with the corporate’s first security assessment, performed between 2017 and 2018.
Uber tracks sexual misconduct corresponding to “non-consensual kissing of a non-sexual body part” and “non-consensual sexual penetration,” in keeping with CNBC. Uber didn’t instantly reply to the Daily Caller’s request for remark.
