Ex-Uber driver charged with Chicago sexual assault

A former driver for Uber's ride-sharing service has been charged with sexually assaulting a passenger in Chicago.

Police said in a news release Monday that 30-year-old Maxime Fohounhedo was arrested Sunday and charged with criminal sexual assault and criminal sexual abuse.

Police say the 22-year-old victim was attacked in the Lincoln Square neighborhood between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. on Nov. 16.

According to a police report, the woman told officers an Uber driver picked her up at a bar, asked her to get in the front seat and attacked her during the ride. She told police she blacked out, but remembered being in an apartment with the driver on top of her.

Fohounhedo was to appear in bond court Tuesday. It wasn't clear whether he already had an attorney.
