On the morning of January 27, a woman in Houston woke up alone in a strange bed she'd never seen before. The last she remembered, she was ordering another round of drinks with two friends at a Midtown club, and she was worried about what might have happened after that, so she left the unknown home.

An exam at Memorial Hermann hospital confirmed her fears that morning: she'd had sex that she didn't remember.

Now, the Uber cab driver who took the woman from the bar that night is accused of sexually assaulting her.

According to court documents, the woman's friends from that night said they last saw her, extremely intoxicated, climbing into a car with an Uber driver.

Jermaine Bulies shared the cab with the unnamed woman when they traveled back to the Crowne Plaza hotel where he and another friend were staying. The woman was sick and vomiting, so Bulies found the woman's ID, found her address and left her in the custody of the driver, who he asked to take her home.

The address given, however, was incorrect.

The driver, 57-year-old Duncan Burton, told police that when he took the woman to her supposed home, she told him she no longer lived there, and that she'd recently moved around the block. When he took her to the next house, an unknown man answered the door and advised her she did not live there.

Burton told police that he and the woman were unable to determine where she lived, so she asked Burton to let her rest at his home, which he did. There, Burton had sex with the woman, he admitted to police. He woke up in the morning and left home for work, leaving the woman in his bed.

She told police she had no memory of the cab ride, sexual activity or Burton, and said she never consented to the sex.

Burton was arrested Wednesday on charges of sexual assault. According to court documents, he performed sexual acts on the woman who he knew was unconscious and unaware and could not provide consent. He is currently being held without bond at the Harris County Jail.
