A Boring Dystopia

I assumed they froze both accounts to have a legal team properly review everything. Even a small complaint can get your account frozen. And it's not wage theft when you're technically a third party contractor.

Sounds like she posted her video of the customer online, which would seem to make her hands unclean. Taking the video for your own evidence sure, but posting it online crosses a line. So I could easily see both parties having their accounts suspended.

So he likely set a trap for a stranger to get a show to get off on being a bit of an exhibitionist, but it's hard to really prove that intent, and she took a video of it and then posted it online, which is another whole can of worms being opened.

Now if they are refusing to let her take money from doordash, she's got a legal case, though unsure if it is 'wage theft', since the whole loophole with these 'gig' companies is that there's no employment and it's all transactional. Terribly exploitative system.

I doubt your implying

This is exactly it. A lot of people out there don't think it's anything unless they've full on held you down and penetrated. And they go on the internet and think they can be clever in trying to use too many words to justify it like they're Jordan Peterson or something.

Yes, it is..... Like most people, you are confusing assault with battery. Sexual assault is any nonconsensual sexual contact(meeting/encounter). Sexual battery or aggravated sexual assault is sexual assault with the use or threat of force.

An alternate perspective: he had a peeper let herself into his house, then accuse him of being naked in his own home.

From her perspective, she obviously believes it was an intentional assault. On the other side of the same coin, it’s entirely possible that she just strolled into some dude’s house when he wasn’t expecting it. And if that’s the case, he was the one who was assaulted. He was out of public view, and being naked in the privacy of your own home isn’t a crime by itself. By her own admission, she entered his house.

My point is simply that we can’t know what happened, because none of us were there. So to simply open by stating that she was assaulted is inherently biased. If he intentionally set it up for his own gratification, he assaulted her. I’m not arguing against that. But if he genuinely wasn’t expecting someone to let themselves into his house, (because honestly, why would anyone think that’s okay to do?) then he’s actually the victim here.

And the actual “what happened” part is something for lawyers to argue over in court. If he had a note saying to let herself in, and the front door was standing wide open, it’s a pretty open and shut case against him. Still a monumentally stupid move on the driver’s part, (because seriously, why would you ever enter someone’s home while making a delivery?) but it would obviously be something that he orchestrated. But again, that’s for the lawyers to argue about, because there could be confounding factors. After all, there are plenty of perfectly valid (and perfectly legal) reasons for someone to be naked in the privacy of their own home.

What if there was no note to let yourself in, and he just had the door open because he was airing out the house on a nice day? Maybe he expected the driver to leave his food on the porch. Maybe he didn’t have his phone on him (because he was naked and had no pockets) and therefore didn’t feel the notification that the driver was on their way. Those are just a few quick what-ifs off the top of my head, and any of them could be possible. And what if, after any of those scenarios, the dude reported the driver for walking in on him? We don’t know why she was banned, but from DoorDash’s perspective it could be acting on a report that the driver essentially broke into someone’s home. We don’t have enough info to say either way.

DoorDash should at least allow her to access her earnings. That part is shitty, and saying “but she signed a contract saying they can withhold her earnings” is (at best) an extremely shitty excuse.

Walking into someone's home and complaining you saw him naked is not assault.

Is she the victim, though? From what I understand, the guy wasn't at the door, but asleep (or pretending to be) in his own home, which should be entirely legal. The "more info" link says the door was ajar and she filmed him. If she pushed open the door, entered his home and filmed him there, she might be the sex offender here.

Of course if he set this up intentionally, that's exhibitionism (not voyeurism, as the article incorrectly calls it), but still, inside his own home. I feel like that should be a safe place where you can dress or undress however you like. Although being visible from the outside might be an issue. I think this issue hinges on whether she had to push open the door or enter his home to see him exposed.

Escrow is third party, second party can't be escrow. In this case door dash can't really be an escrow as it will be second party.
