Schaumburg man charged with grabbing female ride-share driver

A Schaumburg man will remain in custody after being accused of sexually abusing a female ride-share driver, authorities said.

Chenna R. Borra, 30, of the 0-100 block of Wildflower Lane, has been charged with one count of aggravated battery in a public place, a Class 3 felony, and one count of criminal sexual abuse, a Class 4 felony.

The DuPage County state’s attorney’s office said Thursday in a news release that Borra repeatedly grabbed a female Uber driver.

According to the news release, the driver picked up Borra at about 9:20 a.m. Wednesday in Aurora. After putting his luggage in the trunk, Borra sat in the front passenger seat.

Within a few minutes of the vehicle getting on westbound I-88 from Route 59, authorities said Borra grabbed the woman’s chin and squeezed her cheek.

Authorities said that Borra was told to stop but pointed at the woman’s chest and improperly touched her.

After dropping off Borra in Schaumburg, the driver called 911 to report the abuse. Schaumburg police officers found and detained Borra until Illinois State Police agents arrived to investigate.

Borra has been denied pretrial release and is being held at the jail in DuPage. His arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 15.
