College professor who drove for Uber accused of kidnapping three female passengers
A college professor who drove for ride-hailing company Uber on the side has been accused of kidnapping three female passengers, ABC News reported Tuesday.
Penn State professor Richard Lomotey, who was arrested earlier this month for allegedly kidnapping two women, is now being accused of kidnapping a third.
The third woman spoke with police on May 16, saying that on May 11, she was outside of a nightclub when she saw a car with an Uber decal and jumped in the front passenger seat, according to a criminal complaint filed on Monday and reviewed by ABC.
She had not used the Uber App, but gave her address and $10 cash to the driver, according to the complaint.
The woman said Lomotey kept asking about her relationship status while he was driving.
She said she replied that "she was engaged and did not want to participate in any sexual activities with him," but that Lomotey held and grabbed her wrist, according to the court documents.
Every time she unlocked the car doors, Lomotey would lock them, the passenger said in the complaint.
She told police "she was so afraid she opened the door and jumped from the moving vehicle at an unknown location" and the car sped off.
