Summary
Montgomery County charged Abdoulaye Dia with first-degree rape, kidnapping, second-degree assault and a third-degree sex offense after a teenage passenger said he assaulted her in Silver Spring.
Tuesday's report to police began at a hospital, where the underage girl said an Empower driver raped her; investigators used app records to identify Dia and arrested him Wednesday.
DHS said Dia is a Guinea citizen who entered the United States illegally through Arizona in December 2023 and was later released.
June 10 is the date of Dia's prior New York City arrest, where DHS said he faced allegations including sexual abuse by forcible compulsion, forcible touching, injuring a child under 17 and sexual abuse without consent.
