A rideshare driver has been charged with rape and false imprisonment after a teen was allegedly attacked after getting into his vehicle.

The 19-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in Melbourne's CBD after getting into what she believed was a rideshare, shortly before 2am on Monday, police alleged.

Officers arrested a 43-year-old man at his Pakenham home on Thursday.

He has been charged with rape and false imprisonment, and his rideshare driver's licence has been suspended.
