Uber & Lyft Sexual Assault Victims Needed for NYT Investigation

A New York Times investigation revealed that Uber allowed drivers with various criminal convictions, including violent felonies, under policies that are now being reconsidered as the company moves to enact stricter background checks. The journalist is seeking to hear from individuals who have been victims of sexual assault or sexual misconduct during an Uber or Lyft ride to better understand these experiences and their impact. Have you been a victim of sexual assault or sexual misconduct during an Uber or Lyft ride? We know these experiences can be traumatic, but we’d like to hear your story if you are comfortable sharing it. If you feel comfortable, can you tell me briefly about what happened? Did you report the incident to the ride-hailing company, law enforcement or someone else?
