CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) - A Chicago Uber driver is accused of sexually assaulting a passenger.

Police say Alexander Marrero picked up a 23-year-old woman on the early morning of June 26th. The woman had been drinking.

Prosecutors say she passed out a couple times during the ride. But when she woke up, her shorts and underwear were down around her ankles and Marrero was assaulting her.
Marrero has a wife and three kids.

So I guess he was able to pass Ubers stringent background checks even though,

"Marrero had been arrested previously for several misdemeanors, including solicitation of an unlawful business, marijuana possession, and domestic battery, and he was convicted of criminal trespass and disorderly conduct, according to court records."

I wonder what the Chicago aldermen will think about fingerprint based background checks now? If I remember right they were planning a 6 month evaluation period.
Unfortunately, this Morrero has made Fingerprinting almost a certainty, when the Chicago city council renders their decision in November. But the key question is whether or not Uber/Lyft will perform the expensive nationwide security investigation, once they have the fingerprints of applicants, and current drivers.

He's certainly one of the more egregious slip-through-the-background-check-cracks examples I've read about:

Marrero had been arrested previously for several misdemeanors, including solicitation of an unlawful business, marijuana possession and domestic battery, and he was convicted of criminal trespass and disorderly conduct, according to court records.

In another report, an Uber spokesperson says Marrero only drove for the company a "few times." As if that makes it better.

I can think of at least "one" time too many.
