DISGUSTING AND DESPICABLE!!! Via NY Daily News:
“For decades, John had a routine: Get up. Get dressed. Look for someone to sexually abuse on the way to work.
“I’d go into the subway thinking, ‘I’m going to find someone to touch’ and invariably I would,” John said. “If I didn’t, I just didn’t. But I usually had some kind of opportunity.”
A Daily News analysis of subway crime last month revealed women reported being victims of subway perverts more than 3,000 times during a five-year period ended in July 2013.
The NYPD Transit Bureau made an arrest in a majority — 67% — of those cases, Chief Joseph Fox said.
Unfortunately, John never felt the cold steel of handcuffs. He never spent time in a concrete jail cell with a bunch of bigger and bolder predators who would knock his teeth out just to pass the time.
“I never got arrested,” he said. “I only had a few really bad incidents. The worst was one in which a woman glared at me and said, ‘You should be ashamed of yourself.’ ”
John started slithering through crowded trains looking for “targets” when he got his first job making deliveries by subway, he said. He was 16. He continued while commuting to a white-collar job, and then into retirement, he said…
This subway sicko claimed he stopped three years ago.
That’s when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority began broadcasting announcements urging riders to tell a transit worker or cop if they were a sex abuse victim or a witness to a sex crime. The fear of getting caught and exposed in a police crackdown became too great to continue, John said.
So let the crackdown begin. Put cameras in trains, triple undercover sting operations, post photos of repeat offenders in stations.”
It’s good to know at least one sexual abuser has stopped thanks to the PSAs… but it also makes me wonder if he’s just shifted to abusing women in other spaces instead.
