BOYNTON BEACH (CBSMiami/AP) — An Uber driver accused of sexually assaulting three women in Boynton Beach claims two of them offered sex in exchange for a ride.

Xolani Mtsitsha, 36, was arrested Thursday on sexual battery charges after his accusers identified him in a photo lineup.

All three incidents happened in the same industrial area in January, June and July.

Investigators say Mtsitsha, of Boca Raton, told them one of the women had offered him oral sex in exchange for a ride, while another had offered him sex as payment.

Arrest affidavits indicate that Mtsitsha drives for Uber, but don't specify whether he was on the job when he picked up the women.

Police say DNA evidence linked Mtsitsha to the crimes.
