Question
How do you prove something like this and make sure its not just he-said, she-said? I assume the guy is actually guilty of the accusations, but how can the women prove it if there's no cameras or other witnesses? Guys like this tend to be serial offenders, so how do we make sure he doesn't strike again?
correct me if im wrong but....
it looks like that guy in that PHOTO is playing with his dick? he said she said?
If what he's doing in the pic is all that occurred,
I would not consider that an arrestable (sic?) offense. Any half way decent lawyer could get a charge dismissed immediately. There's multiple reasons, non-sexual in nature, that a guy may have his hand on his crotch. I assume there's video, otherwise, imho, it is a he said, she said. I understand the law may say something different.
*I do think with 99% certainty he is in fact engaging in lewd behavior
I presume there are other photos
of a more detailed nature that will be presented at arraignment.
Yeah, but
She said: Rubbing.
He said: Just resting my arm.
I'm sure he's guilty
But this photo doesn't constitute proof in my opinion.
maybe there is a video?
a lot of phones do that now.
This is one photo the police
This is one photo the police supplied. Doesnt mean that it wasn't a screengrab of a video. or the only photo.
then why are you sure he's
then why are you sure he's guilty?
Ride the T much?
But, hey, they have to catch him and an NSFW pic might be prejudicial.
so everyone on the t is a
so everyone on the t is a sexual predator?
Gross and lewd acts
Aren't typically the kind of thing people make up.
No camera?
What on earth are you talking about? No camera? What do you think took the picture that is right in front of your face? And it's not a stretch to think that this is probably one of a few pictures and they aren't going to show the more graphic ones.
I assume you're replying to me?
Maybe read the comment again and think about reading comprehension before replying.
There something about a train
That attracts these perverts. Some stations more than others, South Station and Back Bay are full of perverts whose idea of a fashion statement is an ankle bracelet. Wait till next September when the Boston schools ship more young schoolgirls on the subways.
Something about no consequences
Has any of these perverts done any har..I mean, significant time in past cases? Do they get banned for life from the MBTA system?
A guy squeezed his crotch on the O line today.
Right in front of me! Maybe it was an invitation; maybe it was his just being clueless. Either way It is gross. But should a guy rubbing his crotch amount to criminal conduct? I see men adjust or just squeeze their crotches seemingly unaware or just not caring. None of them would I invite to a dinner party. But I see it as poor socialization. There is plenty of poor socialization. Folks who talk loudly on their phones, play videos on the phones that everyone is forced to hear. To me those behaviors are considerably more annoying than a man groping himself.
A man groping himself is gross. But illegal behavior? Perhaps it needs to be since for the most part we have abrogated responsibility for policing each other. Granted some folks can not be policed by peers: gangbangers for instance. But a guy who is groping himself? Wouldn't shaming and laughing at him be a less expensive and possibly more efficient way of getting the guy to just stop?
But since being in one's own headspace (especially when zoned out on video games, etc.) perhaps this is the only way to deal with bothersome behavior.
"at two women"
Did you miss that part?
I've seen guys just wandering around, airing it all out. Not the same as aggressively demanding the attention of an audience.
I think I would give these
I think I would give these two women the benefit of the doubt. This creep is staring right at them with a perverted gaze and his hand on his penis. Disgusting. Why is it that women are always assumed to be overreacting?! I don't think they ran and reported a gentleman that was adjusting himself.
