How did this POS get hired by Uber?

A California Uber driver living in the country illegally has been charged with raping, assaulting and robbing at least four young women.

Alfonso Alarcon-Nunez, 39, faces 10 criminal charges, including forcible rape, rape of an intoxicated victim, oral copulation of an intoxicated victim and first degree burglary. He pleaded not guilty to all 10 counts Monday and was being held on $1.4 million bail.

San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow said Alarcon-Nunez was not always driving for Uber when he picked up those women but added that the alleged crimes show that the company should improve its driver screening process.

Prosecutors say Alarcon-Nunez targeted women who were on their way home from parties. After driving them home, investigators say he would assault the women and steal their property -- including cell phones and jewelry.

Authorities told KSBY that Alarcon-Nunez would collect payment for the rides through Venmo to disguise his identity and his Uber records. Prosecutors say he has also used the alias "Bruno Diaz" and his Venmo username was "Brush Bat."

Dow said Monday that Alarcon-Nunez's alleged victims are between 19 and 22 years old and three were intoxicated when they were assaulted. The alleged crimes are said to have occurred in December and January in San Luis Obispo, a city of about 45,000 with a large population of college students.

Predators in cars parked outside bars or restaurants "jump in front of the actual Uber driver and they will take someone unsuspecting to their home. And that's a way of putting someone at risk, and in this case that's exactly what's alleged to have happened," Dow said.

Dow urged Uber users to make sure they are getting in the car of the correct driver by verifying the license plate and other information provided to clients.

Dow says detectives are looking for potential witnesses and trying to determine if there are additional victims in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties northwest of Los Angeles.

Officials say Alarcon-Nunez, originally from Mexico, returned to the U.S. illegally after a voluntary deportation from New Mexico in 2005. Dow did not have details about why he was deported or whether he has a criminal record in the U.S.

Alarcon-Nunez's immigration status will not have a bearing on the prosecution, Dow said. He could face life in prison if convicted on all charges.

I suppose that story could change a bunch depending on the comma placement.

I don't think that Uber "hires" people.

This is how you become a "uber" driver.

It Commiefornia, it has to be illegal for an employer to check on the immigration status of a prospective employee....or turn in said employee to ICE, at least according recently to the Commiefornia AG.

Call it what you want, they are responsible for checking backgrounds.

90+ % of the Uber drivers that I have rode/ridden with down here do not speak english.

KLOLOLOL the ones in Miami yes, I absolutely agree. Here in Fort Lauderdale, maybe 20% of them don't speak English.

In CA, letting illegals commit crimes without punishment is called social justice.

Yikes...I have a feeling there are more.

One can always hope that he runs into a shiv in prison.

Doing work Americans won't do....what a dream.

Young hot drunk women getting into cars with weird strangers to be driven home. What could possibly go wrong. How stupid.

One more example of why illegal Aliens should NOT be allowed to have drivers licenses!

Why? All they are is a dispatch service. The drivers are independent contractors.

In NYC, anyone who wants to dive a car for hire has to have a special licence (known as a Hack Licence.) As part of this, they have to be background checked. This includes all the rideshare drivers.

Also, if you read the article, he might not have been dispatched by Uber in these cases.

Police said he may not have operated as an Uber driver for all four cases. They also think other victims could be out there. If Uber allows people to operate under their name then they better verify these people. According to the Uber website they claim to verify drivers.
