Woman sexually assaulted by a Cuban man posing as an Uber driver, according to the police.

A 38-year-old Cuban man identified as Alberto Angulo López appeared in court accused of kidnapping and assault after picking up a young woman as a supposed Uber driver and then groping her and not taking her home.

The incident dates back to February 28 of last year when two women, after leaving a nightclub in Miami Beach at 4:30 in the morning, discovered that their car had been towed.

In an interview with Telemundo 51, the victim recounted that she had an argument with her friend and decided to get into the car, confident that she thought it was an Uber driver.

The testimony from the aforementioned media outlet did not specify whether the young woman made the call for the car through the application or if she trusted that the driver identified himself as such.

The young woman says that the driver entered the address for her home but started driving in a different direction, actually moving away.

During the journey, the man would have started touching his private parts and asking her if she had never tried a Cuban member before.

“I told myself: I had two options, either figure out how to escape from there or wait for him to rape me and then take pity on me and leave me at my house,” said the young woman of Hispanic origin.

The victim managed to share her real-time location with a known person and warned Alberto Angulo that this person would call the police if she did not reach her destination.

Finally, Angulo López left her in Homestead, a place different from the agreed one, demanding money before leaving.

"I don't know if he thought that I would want to meet with him again, and he gave me his number for the Zelle transfer, because I paid him everything through Zelle... He gave me his number, but before that, he also made me follow him on social media," added the woman.

The authorities compiled the evidence that led to the arrest of Alberto Angulo López and his appearance in court. The most serious accusation against him is that of kidnapping, a first-degree felony that could even result in a life sentence.

Alberto Angulo López remains in custody without bail while the judicial process unfolds.
