\nAn Uber driver is accused of sexually assaulting an intoxicated passenger in Richmond.<\/p>\n
According to a criminal complaint, 61-year-old Clifford E. Partin is charged with first-degree rape and first-degree sodomy.<\/p>\n
Police say the incident happened in August after the victim left a party on High Street and requested an Uber due to her level of intoxication.<\/p>\n
The complaint states that shortly after the ride began, the victim lost consciousness. She later awoke to find the vehicle parked in a secluded section of a parking lot on Lantern Ridge Drive in Richmond. She told police she demanded to be taken home and exited the vehicle a short distance from her home, where she then ran the rest of the way.<\/p>\n
The victim later sought medical evaluation and contacted police.<\/p>\n
Police say the GPS trip data from Uber aligned with the victim\u2019s account, and surveillance footage from nearby businesses also reportedly confirmed the vehicle remained in a secluded area of the lot for approximately 25 minutes.<\/p>\n
Partin was arrested on Monday and lodged in the Madison County Detention Center under a $100,000 cash bond.<\/p>\n
According to the complaint, Partin admitted to sexual acts during an interview.
