A 30-year-old Lyft driver from Orange was arrested on Wednesday after he was accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in Santa Ana, police said.
The attack allegedly occurred in April, when Lyft driver Fredi Rojas kidnapped the girl from the area of 1200 North Bewely after she flagged him down and asked for a cell phone charger, according to authorities. Rojas stopped and offered to help the girl before forcing her into his car and driving to a nearby parking lot, where he sexually assaulted her, police said.
After that, Rojas drove the girl to a different location and dropped her off. He was driving a white Nissan Rogue rental car at the time, according to police. Authorities do not believe the girl was a customer.
Police say there may be additional victims and urge anyone with information to contact Detective Amanda Miller at 714-245-8363 or Orange County Crime Stoppers at 1-855-TIP-OCCS.
