TRAPPE, PA — An Uber driver from Montgomery County raped a Villanova University student in her dorm room after driving her home from Philadelphia, authorities said.

Mirvan Dinler, 26, of Trappe, faces numerous charges including rape, sexual assault, indecent assault, and more.

The incident occurred back on Sept. 13.
