I was headed home on the Lexington subway line this summer in NYC. There was a white male 40ish leering at me and I think he was also filming me with his phone. He followed me off the train and up the stairs. A few seconds later my jeans felt wet so I reached my hand around to feel and they were. I smelled my hand and instantly knew it was semen. I contacted the police right away.
They kept my jeans and the top I had on. It was confirmed that it was semen that was sprayed on me but there was no match in the system. The detective told me that this is pretty common. Males save their semen and get sexual gratification by spraying it on women.
They also film it to have a keepsake and relive it. Repulsive…Now whenever I see a women with a stain on the clothes or a man leering at me, I feel terrible.
