Former Uber Driver Convicted of Kidnapping, Assault Sentenced To Jail

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A former Uber driver convicted of kidnapping and assaulting a woman he picked up while off-duty in Pittsburgh has been sentenced to nearly a year in jail. Soumana Dao received a 364-day term on Monday and will get credit the roughly four months he has already served. The 32-year-old Dao will also serve five years of probation and 15 years as a registered sex offender. Authorities say Dao picked up the woman after she requested an Uber in October 2017 and soon began to touch her inappropriately.
