Police say an Uber driver is facing charges in an alleged sexual assault in Oakville.
Halton regional police say they began investigating the allegations last month.
They describe the alleged victim as a young female passenger.
Police say a 33-year-old Toronto man was arrested on Monday and has been charged with sexual assault and breach of probation.
Uber has told NEWSTALK 1010, that the driver has been fired, and his access to the Uber app has been permenantly blocked. That means he'll never be an Uber driver again.
As for how this happened, Uber spokesperson Kayla Whaling says they aren' t quite sure.
"We're looking into this, and finding out exactly what might have happened here."
And Whaling says this driver would have had to go through the required hoops, as would anyone else.
"This person did go through a pre-screening process and a background check and we'll provide any information to police that may help them in their investigation."
