A married Uber driver was arrested in Florida for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl as she was leaving her boyfriend's house Monday night, police said.

David Pena-Melo, 27, was taken into custody by Osceola County Sheriff's Office deputies on a sexual battery charge after the victim reported the incident, according to a police statement.

Around 3am on Monday night, Pena-Melo picked the girl up after she used the Uber application to request a ride from her boyfriend's house in Kissimmee, Florida, to her aunt's house in the same city.

When the victim first got into his vehicle, Pena-Melo complimented her beauty and asked her questions about her age.

He then made the girl sit in the front seat where he 'began to make sexual advances towards the juvenile and sexually battered her', police said in the statement.

The victim told authorities that she asked him to stop several times but he was 'forceful and persistent,' according to an arrest report.
 
A short time later, Pena-Melo drove past the victim's destination and parked his car near a wooded area.

Police said he then forced the juvenile to perform a sex act before finally driving her to her requested destination.
