A 39-year-old Uber driver, Hermann Ngoufack Jiokeng, has been charged with raping a drunk passenger in the back of his vehicle in South Boston. The incident occurred on February 22, 2025, when the victim took a ride share from a location in South Boston to her residence. Jiokeng allegedly sexually assaulted the victim during the ride. He has been arraigned on one count of rape and is being held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing.
A protective order has been filed by Suffolk DA prosecutors, limiting details about the incident. The Boston Police Department, which has investigated similar cases involving ride-share drivers in the past, is actively reviewing the facts surrounding the incident. They are urging anyone with information to contact the Sexual Assault Unit or provide information anonymously via CrimeStoppers.
Jiokeng’s case highlights the ongoing issue of sexual assault involving ride-share drivers and the importance of reporting such incidents to authorities for proper investigation and justice.
