A food delivery driver in upstate New York is facing felony charges after reportedly recording and posting a video of a customer who was partially unclothed and apparently unable to wake up.

The situation began during what was believed to be a routine food-delivery assignment. The worker later posted online and expressed that when she arrived at the customer’s residence, the front door was open, and the customer was lying partly nude on a couch in clear view from outside the home. She said she recorded the scene from the doorway or porch area. She then uploaded the footage to her social-media account, where it quickly spread and drew widespread attention.

In the days following the incident, the worker reported that the encounter included sexual misconduct directed at her. She also insisted that she never entered the residence and that she had evidence showing that the door had been open before she arrived, although she had not released that proof. She additionally reported that her delivery-platform account was deactivated after the video circulated, leaving her without the job she relied on for income.
