An Act criminalizing sexual assault of a passenger by a rideshare operator

Summary

The bill creates new offenses—indecent assault and rape—specifically for rideshare operators who attack passengers while the ride is in progress. It defines a rideshare operator and a "ride," treats the passenger as unable to consent during the trip, and sets prison terms of up to five years for assault and up to twenty years for rape. The changes also insert these offenses into several existing criminal statutes for consistency.
