More Allegations Towards Supposed Subway Pervert

The tabloids report that the main suspect in the Flickred-subway-perv-incident might have a history of public lewdness. In 1994, Dan Hoyt, raw food restaurateur, was arrested for public lewdness "after he unzipped and flashed a victim" at the 8th Street N station. Yesterday, the police were searching for Hoyt, who did not come in to discuss the matter as promised. Since Thao Nguyen's picture made the Internet and the cover of the Daily News, five other women have accused Hoyt (or a man who looks A LOT like Hoyt) of similar acts.

"Yeah, rock, it's really funny to compare women being sexually assaulted to........."

assaulted? get real, anna.

Dana

You think having to view those fat women in those ads is not sexual assault? I can assure you it is.

"ok this is a funny one from over at flickr. I think he has a point:

"If have to see those fat women in the Dove firming lotion ads in my subway system... then you have to see cock in yours. It's only fair..."

Yeah, rock, it's really funny to compare women being sexually assaulted to an ad campaign depicting women of various sizes, none of whom are obese.

It's only a matter of time before people beging posting comments on menupages.com and newyork.citysearch.com for the restaurant Quintessence on 10th Street. (Ahem, ahem).

Raw nut meat! Bwahahaha!!!

Over on flickr there's a photo of Dan hand feeding raw nut meat to that cute Natasha, the singer for Natasha and the MGB. Wonder what happened to them. They were a pretty good east village band.

OK, the guy who said Dan Hoyt was on GMA said that didn't really happen. It's on the flickr photo page comments.

Funny, I thought it was the half brother of Michelin 3-Star restauranteur and Hell's Kitchen star Gordon Ramsey

This has gone from a noble thing to pathetic quite quickly.

If it is Dan Hoyt, then fine. The guy should get what he deserves.

But if it's not him, then it make the Daily News (and others like Flickr and the posters here) look like complete jerks.

Considering how everyone in the blogworld thinks they are a junior reporter, I think there should be some required journalism/ethics course happening nowadays.

isn't that the kobra kai sensei? gives new meaning to "Sweep the leg, Johnny"

Don't be ridiculous. Anyone can tell it's actually Hannibal Dobbs from "F Troop."

I seriously doubt the "Good Morning America" thing. There's nothing at all about this on the ABC News website, and all the morning shows are doing nothing but Hurricane Katrina coverage today.

The Flickr comments on this photo have attracted a LOT of hoaxers and trolls -- take anything you see there with a grain of salt.

Someone said here that Dan Hoyt was on GMA, admitting to it:

Let me just get this out of the way first: if this guy Hoyt is not the one, God help us all for sullying the man's name.

That said, it looks like he's the one.

Creep.
