Lyft driver charged with luring, sexually harassing 2 NJ students

PRINCETON, N.J. (WPVI) -- A Lyft driver has been charged with luring and sexually harassing two Princeton University students.

The Mercer County Prosecutor's Office announced charges Tuesday against 28-year-old Dimario Wynter of Spotswood.

Investigators say Wynter approached two women in separate incidents last month in Princeton.

Authorities say the first incident happened on April 16 while the student was walking along Prospect Avenue around noon. Prosecutors say Wynter gave the woman a $100 bill, exited his vehicle, walked toward her and demanded a sexual act.

Authorities said a second similar incident happened on April 17 around 9:30 a.m. on Ivy Lane.

In both cases, the women ran away and contacted police.

Wynter was arrested on April 30 and has since been released pending future court appearances.
