Rio Rancho man accused of sexually assaulting Uber driver

Authorities say a Rio Rancho man who allegedly sexually assaulting an Uber driver last month is jailed without bond until his trial.

According to a criminal complaint filed in Sandoval County Magistrate Court, 38-year-old Gabreil Munoz is accused of rape, aggravated battery, kidnapping and other charges in the June 10 incident.

The Albuquerque Journal reports Munoz was indicted June 21 on the charges.

A woman who drives for the ride-sharing company told authorities Munoz asked to be taken to his home in Rio Rancho.

He later reached into the front of the car and put it in park, then forcefully pulled the woman into the back seat of the vehicle and allegedly assaulted her.

Munoz also allegedly threatened to kill the woman. She managed to get free and call police.
