Kemal immediately began making sexual comments to the woman and put his hand inside her shirt and on her crotch and tried to kiss her while he was driving.

He continued to grope the woman when they arrived at her destination until she was able to escape and yell for a friend, according to the affidavit. Kemal then contacted the woman on Facebook messenger several days later.
