Uber is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit in North Carolina filed by families of two girls, ages 12 and 13, who were sexually assaulted after taking a ride to meet their attacker, Fayvion Jarrod Williams. Uber argues it is not liable for the crime, as the attacker had no ties to the company. The lawsuit claims negligence and illegal sex trafficking, seeking damages. A judge has mandated mediation and set a deadline for Uber's response by November 7.
