   OLYMPIA, Wash. (KOMO) — Prosecutors in Thurston County filed charges Tuesday   
   against an Uber driver who is accused of driving an intoxicated female   
   passenger to a secluded area and raping her over the weekend.   
      
   Ahmed Hassan Ali, 58, of Seattle, faces one count of rape in the second degree   
   and one count of kidnapping in the first degree with sexual motivation   
   aggravating circumstance.   
      
   According to the arrest report, Ali was driving for Uber Saturday morning when   
   he gave a ride to an intoxicated woman who was at a bar in Olympia.   
      
   Investigators allege Ali marked the woman’s ride as complete in the Uber app   
   but kept her in the car and drove to 6th Avenue SE in an unincorporated area   
   of Thurston County and raped her.   
      
   The victim’s family became alarmed when she did not arrive at the house and   
   her father tracked her location to a parking area near the Nisqually River,   
   the arrest report said.   
      
   The father and other family members drove to the location and found the woman   
   unclothed in the backseat of Ali’s car, and Ali appeared to be pulling up   
   his pants while climbing over the center console, according to the sheriff’s   
   office report.   
      
   Investigators said family members assaulted Ali and took the woman out of the   
   car. At some point during the confrontation, the victim’s father fired a gun   
   twice, but the bullets did not strike anyone, according to the report.

   Neighbors called 911 to report the gunfire and deputies stopped Ali’s   
   vehicle as he was driving out of the area. A deputy noted that Ali was   
   bleeding heavily from his head and hands when he was contacted, but the report   
   notes Ali was in a hurry to    
   leave and initially refused medical treatment.   
      
   Prosecutors said in a court hearing Monday that Ali’s injuries were so   
   severe that it was suspicious Ali would attempt to refuse medical care.   
      
   A judge set Ali’s bail at $100,000 at the hearing. Jail records show he   
   posted the bail Monday night and was released from custody.   
      
   Ali is scheduled to appear at an arraignment on July 2.   
      
   Uber sent the following statement to KOMO News in response to Ali’s arrest:   
      
   The driver’s behavior is appalling and has no place in our society or on the   
   Uber platform. We take reports of this nature very seriously and removed the   
   driver’s access to the platform as soon as we were made aware of the   
   incident. We have a    
   dedicated team standing ready to assist law enforcement with their   
   investigation.
