William Mancortes, 43, of Boston's Hyde Park neighborhood, is accused of posing as a rideshare driver in two rape cases and a sexual assault dating back to 2017.
"By her own admission, [she] was very intoxicated," Nucci said."Did not remember much, but was able to go inside a car she believed was an Uber, at which time the defendant got in the back seat."A similar scenario played out at least twice more with other women, authorities say.
"These allegations are atrocious, and the suspect was banned from the Uber platform years ago," the rideshare company told NBC10 Boston in a statement."We take reports of this nature very seriously and cooperated with law enforcement on their investigation." Stephanie DeCandia is with the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center. She encourages everyone to do what they can to prevent attacks like this.
"To care about sexual violence," she asked of the public."To do what they can within their role in a community to care for each other, and to intervene if it's possible to intervene."Victims of sexual assault are asked to contact the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center, which can be reached on its 24-hour hotline at 1-800-841-8371.
The Boston Police Department previously asked anyone with information about the case to call the CrimeStoppers Tip Line at 1-800-494-TIPS or text the word"TIP" to 27463.
