A 16-year-old girl told officers she had used a rideshare service to return home that morning.

The driver, later identified as Njoki, allegedly persuaded her to sit in the front passenger seat during the ride. The teen reported that Njoki completed most of the trip but stopped a few blocks short of her destination.

At that point, she said Njoki made sexual advances and kept her from leaving the car.

Despite the suspect鈥檚 actions, the teen managed to escape and reach her home safely, where she contacted law enforcement.

Njoki was arrested and charged with one count of unlawful imprisonment and one count of indecent liberties.

The Bellevue Police Department is now trying to determine if others may have experienced similar behavior.

, the ridesharing app Uber reported about 2,717 sexual assault incidents from 2021-2022.
