Sex assault charges for NSW Uber driver

An Uber driver is set to face court after allegedly sexually assaulting a young woman he picked up off a street in Sydney's east.

An Uber driver has been charged following the alleged sexual assault of a woman in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

Police say a 22-year-old woman was walking along Bayswater Road in Vaucluse just after midnight on Sunday when the driver pulled over and offered her a lift home.

The woman accepted the lift and the 39-year-old ride-sharing driver then allegedly parked in a nearby street and sexually assaulted her.

He was arrested at his Lakemba home and is set to appear in Burwood Local Court on Thursday.
