Why is there no info on the victim? Cause if folks thought it was Just 2 bums making whoopy, that makes a difference.NOBODY would intervene or try to break that that up.

 

[Pdiddy]

Philly is getting worse.

human decency.

 

[ColdSlither]

Yeah there's no excuse for someone to not do something. Especially a whole group of people.

I blame the pussification of this generation

Not for nothing, I'd like to see the surveillance footage of what occured in that train at that moment

I'm not saying this isn't what happened, I'm saying there are a lot of moving parts to a story, and the media tends to sensationalize shyt especially in a place like Philadelphia where there is a lot of crime, much of which is blamed solely and specifically on Black people.

The victim is a White woman per Newsweek. The attack lasted for 8 minutes. This wasn't groping. It was a full on assault. He ripped her clothes off. The people that stood by and recorded are animals. If that gets me banned, so be it. That's horrible.

She can be a white bum. I saw a interracial homeless couple the other day in Tampa arguing while I was at a light and black dude looked like he was about to smack the dog shyt out her... and I wasn’t gonna do a damn thing. Them crackrock disputes ain’t got nothing to do with us.


But I do agree with a everything you’re saying.

 

[CP3.]

Is it still a law that if you try to save someone from a crime, the victim or the assailant can still sue you?

I remember back in the day that was a motivator for people not getting involved in situations.

'Rapist and rape victim both sue bystander that stopped it'

Would be such an American headline. Right up there with 'Man run over by drunk driver awakes from coma thousands of dollars in debt after ambulance and medical fees'

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A man charged with raping a woman on a commuter train just outside of Philadelphia harassed her for more than 40 minutes while multiple people held up their phones to seemingly record the assault without intervening, authorities said.

More than two dozen train stops passed as the man harassed, groped and eventually raped the woman, the police chief for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority said at a news conference Monday.

Police do not believe a single witness on the train dialed 911. They are investigating whether some bystanders filmed the assault.

Both the man and woman got on the train at the same stop Wednesday night in North Philadelphia. Officers pulled the man off of the woman at the last stop. They responded within about three minutes of a 911 call from a transportation authority employee, authorities said.

“What we want is everyone to be angry and disgusted and to be resolute about making the system safer,” SEPTA Police Chief Thomas J. Nestel III said at the news conference.

Arrest records show Fiston Ngoy, 35, was charged with rape and related offenses.

The affidavit of arrest for Ngoy detailed times of the assault, including that during those 40 minutes the woman appears to repeatedly push Ngoy away.

Nestel would not give an approximate number of witnesses and it was unclear from the affidavit how many passengers were present for those 40 minutes. Authorities have not released the surveillance video.

“I can tell you that people were holding their phone up in the direction of this woman being attacked,” he said.

Elizabeth Jeglic, a psychology professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, researches sexual violence prevention. She said if people feel uncomfortable physically intervening, there are other options like calling the police.

“When we have multiple people, people don’t necessarily intervene,” she said. “However, more recent research actually suggests that looking at video footage of more extreme circumstances that up to 90% of cases we do see people intervening. So it was actually somewhat of an aberration in this case that somebody did not step forward to help this individual.”

Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt, of the Upper Darby Police Department, has said surveillance footage showed other riders were on the train and someone “should have done something.” Messages for Bernhardt were left Monday.

The New York Times reported that Bernhardt said that people who recorded the attack and failed to intervene could possibly be charged, but that would be up to the Delaware County District Attorney’s office to determine.

There were no calls made to 911 in Philadelphia. Nestel said police were still waiting for Delaware County 911, which covers the last two train stops, to determine if it received any calls.

Investigators said in the affidavit that Ngoy sat down next to the woman about a minute after he boarded the train car, shortly after 9:15 p.m. The video shows her pushing him away multiple times until he is seen ripping her pants down at about 9:52 p.m.

Bernhardt said officers arrived at the 69th Street terminal on the Market-Frankford Line, the busiest route on SEPTA, around 10 p.m.

A SEPTA employee who was in the vicinity as the train went past called police to report that “something wasn’t right” with a woman aboard the train, Bernhardt said.

SEPTA police waiting at the next stop found the woman and arrested Ngoy, who they had pulled off of the woman. She was taken to a hospital.

Bernhardt said the “unbelievably strong woman” told cops she remembered getting on the train at about 9:15 p.m. in Philadelphia. She said she couldn’t recall anything after that until cops pulled her attacker off of her, the Inquirer reported.

The woman told cops she had a few beers after work, but got onto the wrong train. About a minute later, Ngoy also got on, according to the affidavit.

Ngoy then began to talk to her and moved to the seat beside her before starting to touch the woman and grabbing her breast at one point, a surveillance video showed. Each time, the woman pushed Ngoy away, the footage showed.

“Throughout this time, the victim is obviously struggling with keeping him off of her,” cops wrote in the affidavit.

Sounds like she was blackout drunk or somebody spiked her drink and she still wound up in danger.
