Sure, Darnell Hardware "rubbed his penis against a woman in a crowded subway car, ejaculated on her, and fled the subway when the doors opened" in three different incidents between 2002 and 2006 (on a northbound Lexington Avenue express between 14th and 42nd Streets; at 6 p.m. on a northbound 1 train; and at 7:30 a.m. near 86th Street on a northbound Lexington Avenue express). And all the victims were young women who couldn't move away because the trains were so crowded. But, thanks to a 2010 decision from the Court of Appeals, that kind of offense isn't considered first-degree sex abuse because NY's highest court doesn't consider the assault to be by "forcible compulsion."
