UPDATE: The driver arrested yesterday on accusations that he raped a passenger last December will not be charged, District prosecutors said. The Washington Post reports that even as the Metropolitan Police Department was preparing to tout the arrest of Anour Habib Trabelsi, the U.S. Attorney’s office, which prosecutes city crimes, said it would not be indicting Trabelsi. The driver was released Thursday evening.

A driver affiliated with Uber was arrested yesterday in connection with sexual assault charges brought by a customer last December, Metropolitan Police Department officials said. Anouar Habib Trabelsi, of Alexandria, was arrested by a regional task force of law enforcement agencies on charges of first degree sexual assault.

The charges were first brought on December 8, when a customer riding back to Cleveland Park alleged that after being dropped off at her home on the 3200 block of 36th Street NW, the driver followed her out of the car and sexually assaulted her. According to court documents, the victim got a ride back from U Street NW about 3 a.m. that morning and arrived back home about 30 minutes later. The victim said that upon exiting the sedan, the driver got out two and assaulted her in the driveway, forced her to the ground, and raped her.

Messages related to the incident on neighborhood email groups state that the incident was caught on security cameras mounted to the victim’s home. Police notified Uber of the allegations on December 11, upon which time Trabelsi’s account with the company was deactivated. He has not conducted any additional business through Uber since then. Drivers that accept rides through Uber are not employed by the company, but for livery fleets that use Uber’s applications to accept electronic dispatches.

“We have worked closely with the police and prosecutors investigating this incident, and will continue to help them in any way possible,” Rachel Holt, Uber’s general manager for D.C, says.
