At the cricket match between New Zealand and South Africa on Saturday, reporter Craig Cumming of Sky Sport informed viewers that his “light meter” was reading 6.5. (6.5 what? He didn’t say.) But when he whipped out said light meter, it sure looked like… something else.

She woke up the morning of March 6 and noticed her phone was missing. She tried to remember what happened the night before, but it was not until March 8 that she noticed a $92 charge from Lucky Cab Co. on her bank card. She then contacted the taxi company about her lost or stolen phone, police said.

The cab company’s management discovered the sexual assault while reviewing cab surveillance footage in an attempt to find the woman’s phone, according to the arrest report. The driver was suspended and then fired.

When management confronted Based about the incident, according to the arrest report, he said he “would give her some money to make it ok.”

The surveillance footage from the cab shows Based picking up the woman from The Cosmopolitan just before 4:45 a.m. on March 6. The woman passes out in the back seat, according to the arrest report, and Based can be seen reaching back and touching her inner thigh.

A couple minutes later, Based pulls the cab over on the 215 Beltway near Windmill Lane and tells the woman to get in the front seat. Based can be seen sexually assaulting the woman multiple times during the drive and while parked in her driveway, according to the report.

When questioned by police, Based said he “made a mistake, because a married man should not be doing this sort of thing,” according to the report. He also said it would “be okay for a single man, but not someone who was married.”

The driver also went back to the woman's house a few days later with flowers and tried to apologize. She ran him off with a baseball bat.

I kept waiting for the indication this was an Onion satire or a SNL skit or something. That is just...sad.

Sad, but also sweet in a way.

Innocent fun, camaraderie/acceptance and exercise. I think it's great. Not my cup of tea, but more power to them.

OK. You two are right. But not for me. And a 55+ YO man doing that WOULD be sad.

You're just afraid you couldn't hang when having to carry the horse.

Insanity.

Apparently they stopped the bidding for volunteers to give up their seats at 800. What the hell? Triple the bribe! This publicity and the lawsuit will cost them much more than that.

Then again, probably no one cares, as long as they get cheap convenient flights...
