Overview
- Testimony continued Tuesday as a woman described mistaking an SUV for her Uber after a Boston holiday party in 2019, then waking up in Rhode Island next to a man she did not know.
- During cross-examination Tuesday, the defense pressed her about a text saying she thought she had “hooked up” with her driver, and she replied that she was in shock and later reported a rape.
- Following Monday’s opening statements, prosecutors said he targeted intoxicated bar patrons by posing as a rideshare driver to find women who could not consent.
- The defense maintains the encounters were consensual and plans to show videos from his phone, which prosecutors say depict assaults that helped identify multiple victims.
- He has pleaded not guilty to rape, kidnapping, and indecent assault, has been held without bail since 2020, and could face life in prison if convicted because of his prior record.
