Market Chatter: Uber Technologies Ordered to Pay $5,000 for Sexual Assault Passenger

MT Newswires Live04-21 16:21

Uber Technologies (UBER) has been ordered to pay $5,000 to a woman who claimed she had been sexually assaulted by an Uber driver, Reuters reported Monday, citing a federal jury in North Carolina.

The woman claimed she faced the assault in March 2019 in Raleigh, North Carolina, according to Reuters.

The ride-hailing giant argued during the trial that it is a software company and not a common cab service that has a legal requirement to protect passengers under the state's law, Reuters said.

Uber did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
