Sexual Crime Squad detectives have charged a man following the sexual assault of a 19-year-old woman in the early hours of Monday morning.
A 43-year-old Pakenham man was arrested at his home address yesterday morning (Thursday, 6 June) and was subsequently interviewed by police.
The man was charged with rape and false imprisonment and also had his rideshare driver licence suspended.
He will appear at Melbourne Magistrates' Court later today.
The charges follow an alleged incident on Monday, 3 June after the woman got into a vehicle she believed was a rideshare shortly before 2am in Melbourne's CBD.
