Fahim was charged after police stopped his vehicle for traffic violation last week.
The victim requested an Uber, but her request was somehow deleted by the Uber driver.
The woman volunteered to pay for her ride in cash, but Fahim instead demanded sex from her.
When she refused, Fahim repeatedly locked the car’s doors.

He only offered to release her if she agreed to his demand, Assistant State’s Attorney Mikah Soliunas said.
As the vehicle slowed in traffic, the woman was able to escape. She appeared to be uninjured, authorities said.
An Uber spokesman called the rider’s account of what happened 'troubling'.
