She told authorities that she arrived at the campus around 11 p.m. and was being escorted by Dinler to her dorm building.

After the assault, Dinler left but came back a short time later to demand the woman give him money for a mess in his car. She handed him her cell phone, and he transferred $150 to a Venmo account under another name, court documents state.

He left soon after. 

The next morning, the victim said she noticed someone had begun following her on Instagram with the same name as the Venmo account holder. 

She reported the rape to the university, prosecutors said. The university referred Fox News Digital to the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office for any inquiries.

An Uber spokesperson told Fox News Digital that Dinler was banned from the app. 

"Sexual assault is a devastating crime that has no place in our society," the spokesperson said. "We are appalled by what’s been described, and banned the driver as soon as this was reported to us. We will assist law enforcement however we can."
