Uber driver charged with sexual battery after 20-year-old woman alleges assault
The Hillsborough County State Attorney’s office has brought a formal complaint against an Uber driver who allegedly sexually assaulted a 20-year-old Pasco County woman after she had celebrated her birthday with friends.
Anthony Oliveras-Rivera, who currently is awaiting trial, was charged with sexual battery upon admitting to having sexual intercourse with the woman when he was confronted by law enforcement.
“My client is a very cute young girl, and this man is much older,” attorney Andrea Lewis said. “If you see the two of these people next to one another, this clearly was not a consensual engagement by any stretch of the imagination.”
