An Orlando Uber driver is facing charges of sexual assault on a drunken passenger, authorities said.
Jorge Alberto Antunez-Quintero, 38, was charged this week with sexual battery after an investigation into the alleged May 21 attack, investigators said.
The victim told Orlando police she had requested an Uber ride to a hotel. She said she felt fine but suddenly lost consciousness, investigators said.

Police said Antunez-Quintero told them the woman asked him to pull over because she felt sick. He said she pulled up her dress and he noticed she wasn't wearing underwear. He told them he took that as a sign she wanted sex, investigators said.
Antunez-Quintero told police that he took her to a hotel room and undressed, got on top of her but stopped because he’s married, authorities said.
