The first incident happened around noon on April 16. The student told police that she was on Prospect Avenue in Princeton, when a man drove up to her and stopped to ask for directions. That's when, Wynter allegedly gave the woman a $100 bill, got out of the car, walked toward her and "demanded a sexual act," according to officials. The student dropped the money and ran off.

The next day, around 9:30 a.m., another student told police that she ws on Ivy lane, when a man drove up to her. Just like the day before, the driver asked for directions and gave the student a $100 bill. Then, police said Wynter asked the girl to leave with him, but she gave the money back and left.

After Princeton University investigated the two incidents, they allegedly identified Wynter as the driver in both cases, and found that he was a driver for Lyft.
