Uber says some sexual assault accusers submitted fake receipts
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, JUL 31 – Uber alleges over 100 plaintiffs submitted fake or altered receipts in sexual assault lawsuits as part of efforts to reduce liability in a case involving more than 2,450 claims nationwide.
- On July 8, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer rejected certain fraud and liability claims related to Uber’s advertisements that promoted ride-sharing as a safe alternative to driving under the influence.
- The dismissal followed Uber's request to scrutinize plaintiffs in a federal sexual assault lawsuit for submitting bogus or missing ride receipts to support their claims.
- Uber reported over 100 instances of doctored receipts containing errors or fabricated details, prompting the company to ask the court to require 21 plaintiffs to justify suspicious receipts and 90 others to provide proof or explanations.
- Uber emphasized that honesty is essential to the fairness of the judicial process and characterized the act of fabricating evidence by the plaintiffs as an exceptionally serious form of misconduct.
- The court permitted some liability claims related to certain product features to move forward, while numerous sexual assault cases against Uber continue to be litigated separately, highlighting ongoing legal difficulties for the company.

Uber says he found more than a hundred cases in which passengers claimed to have been arrested or sexually arrested on trips that never existed (or there is no evidence that they existed).
