A report that came into Fort Worth police claims that 40-year-old Uber driver Hashem Ramezanpour accepted a ride from a 77-year-old woman last month and during the ride, he parked his white 2016 Honda Civic and assaulted her. Ramezanpour is facing charges of aggravated sexual assault, and a warrant was put out for his arrest. According to the victim, she was riding back home from a church meeting in Dallas when the driver stopped his car along Highway 377 in North Fort Worth in a dark and secluded wooded area near her home.
