Rideshare Sexual Assault in Riverside
Riverside's Inland Empire location — between Los Angeles and the desert — creates long-distance rideshare trips that sometimes traverse isolated areas. UC Riverside's student population creates campus rideshare demand. California's exceptional 10-year SOL protects Inland Empire survivors who delayed disclosure.
