Certainly isn't a laughing

Certainly isn't a laughing matter and I hope the judge agrees. Sick of reading about this shit happening to women over and over again.

Why do these police reports ...

... never identify the ride-share company by name?

Many

Of the drivers work with more than one company, so it might be clear right away which one they were representing at the time of the incident.

Didn’t they arrest someone else?

Per the previous article, they arrested someone else in Acton after it happened. Different person and twice the age of the person they charged. I wonder what the story is there.

What's the story?

The story is that you have confused two different assaults by rideshare drivers. The man who was arrested in Acton was charged with an assault in Allston in March. The Brighton assault in this story was a different incident, which took place last week.
