Because Uber drivers can’t accept cash, the driver, Szabo said, came up with an idea. At home, Szabo charged her phone and realized the payment had indeed gone through. But Szabo’s incident happened only three days after police charged Nephat Siziba, a 55-year-old former Uber driver with sexual assault. RelatedLast year, Toronto police issued two sexual assault warrants for the arrest of two Uber drivers in the span of two weeks in September. Ahmad Sohail, 29, was charged with sexual assault, sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching after allegedly forcing himself on a teenage boy in Oshawa, Ont in May 2016.
