A ride-share nightmare unfolded in Sandy Springs, where a woman endured rape and burglary at the hands of her Uber driver, authorities have disclosed. Le'Myrious Monaye Dawson faces charges of theft by taking, burglary, battery, and rape following the harrowing May 5 incident, as per the Sandy Springs Police Department's account.
The victim, after being driven to her home around 2:30 a.m., was victimized by Dawson, who later breached the sanctity of her residence to commit the alleged sexual assault and burglary, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.
