Police: Uber driver charged with raping unconscious woman

LANSDALE, Pa. – Police say an Uber driver has been charged with raping a passenger he picked up at a casino and who became unconscious in the car.

Ahmed Elgaafary, of Lansdale, faces multiple offences, including rape, sexual assault and indecent assault of an unconscious person.

Pennsylvania State Police say the alleged attack happened around 2:20 a.m. Feb. 10. They say the driver picked the woman up from the Valley Forge Casino in King of Prussia. Rather than taking her home, police allege he took her to a residence and raped her.

He was charged Wednesday.

Neighbours tell WXTF-TV he continued driving for the ride share service until recently.

Elgaafary is in Chester County Prison. His lawyer’s voicemail box was full Friday

A call seeking comment from Uber wasn’t returned Friday.
