It's Uber's fault because they claim to screen their drivers' backgrounds for criminal activity, including sexual assault. This driver raped a woman in a taxi he was driving in 2011, which Uber either didn't know or didn't care about.

Pretty reasonable to expect Uber to detect and prevent people like that from driving cars for them, I think.

That changes my opinion. Uber is liable if this is a) true, and b) that information was actually available.

That driver was accused of raping a woman in a taxi he was driving in 2011, not convicted of. Holding an accusation against someone is a really shitty thing to do - innocent until proven guilty and all that.
