The victim told police that before they reached her destination in Moraga, Beker stopped the car and got into the back seat with the woman and sexually battered her.
Officers were able to identify Beker with the help of the victim and traffic cameras in Moraga.
Beker was booked into the Contra Costa County jail in Martinez for felony sexual battery. He was later released after posting bail.
