Help, I Got Sexually Assaulted in an Uber! McCready Law

Sexual assault is a nightmare come true for most people, and many would never think in their wildest dreams that it can happen to them. With the advent of rideshare services and their popularity, more and more people are getting into stranger’s cars without a second thought. As a result, many more people are putting themselves at risk of being assaulted given the lax regulations surrounding these services. Rideshare services do not perform in-depth background checks on their drivers, if at all, so it’s only natural that some bad seeds would fall through the cracks and be on their way to sexually terrorizing their customers. Sexual assault is a criminal offense, and even though you may have been threatened in order to stop you from talking, or you think that no-one will believe you, it is important that you speak out in order to put these criminals in jail so they never get the chance to victimize one more individual.
