So the other day...

A cab driver harassed me sexually. Let me explain what happened. I needed to buy a new phone because my old one had somehow died. The cab took over an hour to get to the local library (I'd been misheard over the phone and they'd gone to the wrong town) and I momentarily blacked out visually due to stress when they drove right by me. It was a weird

What he did was very very wrong and he needs to be reported. But that report needs to come from you. You're the one it happened to, sweets. They wouldn't take some random person's report if they weren't there to witness it. I just need to stress he needs to be reported. You may not be the first person he's tried this with and I'm sure you won't be the last unless something is done.

D: That's really terrible. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
But yeah you need to report that guy asap. If you call and it goes to his line, just hang up and call again to try and get someone else.

I second everyone else: you've got to report him yourself, or they aren't going to take it seriously, especially if the call is coming from out of state. I'm really sorry that this happened to you, I can't imagine how it feels :-/

NO ONE should be subjected to that. He should especially not have preyed on someone young. I understand being understanding ("-I wanted to believe the best of him-but hoped...well, I hoped"), but most if not all guys are going to take the hesitation as permission. He should never have laid a hand on you, as a professional cab driver. I will bet just about anything that is against the rules.

I'm sorry this happened. Pray for the courage to call the company and report him. I understand being afraid, but I think he must be just inexperienced and stupid. He is in the wrong.

I am so sorry this happened to you Mary, it's awful :(

Have you told anyone, family or friends where you live? They can report on your behalf, and failing that you could go to the cops and report it so they can do all the investigating / reporting. Take a support person along with you.

I called the cab company and reported it to the manager...*shrug*
