Twenty-seven-year-old Farah Diriye was arrested Wednesday on a warrant that listed a charge of sexual assault. A judge set $250,000 as his bail, and Diriye bonded out of Douglas County Jail on Thursday.
Diriye’s attorney, Jeremy Jorgenson, says Diriye denies the accusation and is cooperating with authorities.
A court documents says the woman hailed a cab driven by Diriye after a May 8 concert in Omaha and agreed to pay $145 for the trip to her Lincoln apartment. She says she fell asleep on the way but awoke while the cab was stopped somewhere and realized the driver sexually assaulting her.
