Former Uber driver charged with rape to remain jailed without bond, police say

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A now-former Uber driver will stay locked up without bond. 
                
Abdoulie Jagne of College Park is charged with raping one of his 16-year-old customers in Gwinnett County.

Police said the attack happened early Monday morning somewhere along South Norcross Tucker Road between Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Old Norcross Tucker Road. 
                
The brother told Channel 2's Steve Gehlbach he still doesn't have all the facts, but did tell Gehlbach before driving for Uber the last two months his brother was also a driver for Lyft.

• Teen busted for allegedly selling pot brownies outside Walmart
• Mom accused of leaving son in car near drugs while breaking into house

That’s important because investigators fear he may have tried something like this before and want other possible victims to come forward.

Jagne told the judge during his brief first appearance Saturday morning that he’s now unemployed from his former part time job as an Uber driver.

“That’s out of his character,” Jagne’s brother said. “I know him. That’s my younger brother.”

And while Channel 2 Action News hasn't heard Jagne's side of the story yet, police said the victim's story checks out.

Jagne will stay locked up with no bond at least until a preliminary hearing set Dec. 27.
