Ilhan Kocak, 42, of Super Yellow Cab, was charged last week with sexual battery, according to a police report released Monday.
Kocak told The Miami Herald the woman is lying. "She invited me upstairs,'' he said in an interview, vowing to fight the charges.
According to an arrest report by Detective Gustavo Sanchez, a Lincoln Road restaurant manager and the woman's friend hailed Kocak on Lincoln Road on Oct. 31. The woman was so intoxicated that she could not give her own address.
Surveillance video of the woman's North Beach apartment showed the cabbie helping her into the elevator -- and returning 45 minutes later, the report said. She woke up the next morning half-naked, the report said.
According to police, Kocak admitted sexual contact with the woman but claimed that she forced herself on him.
