Police legalese to make sure the perp can’t claim he was out of town on ‘that’ particular day, if charges ever come of it.

It’s another victim, who realized she was groped by the same creep when she saw the photos.

My guess is she knows it was while she was in 8th grade.

Did the police not release this info until recently? I’m sure this happened more than 3 times, but the majority of girls/women don’t make a report because they were embarrassed or don’t think it will make a difference. This guy’s photo should have been plastered all over the train and social media immediately after the first incident!

Women of all ages! And girls, you often travel in packs! Can you CONFRONT these guys when they do something improper? Don’t be afraid of being embarrassed — you need to embarrass HIM.
Speak loudly: WHY ARE YOU TOUCHING ME LIKE THAT?
or: DON’T TOUCH ME!
or: GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!
Your friends traveling with you should come to your defense and say the same things! Guaranteed the guy will RUN!
YOU DON’T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS CRAP!
