To be an undercover cop! The NYPD conducted a special sting - "Operation Exposure" - to find subway pervs and over the two week period, over 13 people were arrested for "rubbing, grabbing and flashing women." The NYPD Transit Bureau chief said subway pervery is "a heavy quality of life crime," and that riders were thankful when the men were arrested. A team of four female undercover officers were "dressed as any other woman on the subway" and nabbed jerks for "forcible touching" and "public lewdness." (There was also a grand larceny arrest.) One woman said, "It happens a lot but women don't tell anyone. It's about time they did something about it because there's a lot of perverts around." Word. And the Post has the best lede: "Subway gropers, beware - next time you cop a feel, you might be feeling a cop."
There are shout-outs in the coverage to the HollaBack blog and Thao Nguyen, who snapped an particularly infamous subway lewdness incident.

grrrr... don't get me started on those 'hollaback' hypocrites!
Do you know what I think about this new sting operation?
ZZZIPPPP
Fap Fap Fap
What's "rouching"?
it's like "touching" – only higher.
Fuck that Thao Nguyen! Her cameraphone snapshot has set off a chain of events that has lead to this heresy of police harassment of perverts everywhere. Thao Nguyen is the rosa parks of pervert capture and she will rue the day that she took that picture. We don't hurt nobody. We just pretend you are naked and jiggle our dingleberries throught the cut pocket in our short shorts. Is it a crime to jizz in your own pants? cause if it is then half of new york should be locked up.
I believe women who are initially outraged being on the receiving end of that type of ‘treatment’ soon become extremely flattered, but of course they don’t show it since its socially unacceptable and it sorta makes them feel like a bunch of freaks.
So Don't be outraged, be thankful and supportive of our fellow fappers. They're doing NY a great service.
Why are we wasting time blogging about these creeps when there are plenty of baseball bats to go around to "solve" the problem.

hahahaha couldnt think of a better typo coming from Jen Chung.
My girlfriend is hot and she gets harrassed everyday on the train and it makes me absolutley furious when she comes back home in tears.
I am glad there are blogs like operation holla back and the like. These fucking scumbags get what they deserve and I hope they burn in whatever hell they choose to believe in.
I read the best advice for women a few years ago. The second you feel someone is touching you--intended or not--just shout, "Oh my god! Get yours hands off me!".
In all cases you will find you have more space around you. And you will often avoid being molested.
The subway perverts say they are being "harassed" by the cops?
PLEASE--give me a break!
If these scumbags could satisfy a real woman, they wouldn't be feeling up females on the subway.
Ha! Why am I not surprised that all the sick perverts read Gothamist??
Of course many of the above posters are half kidding. Some more than half, some less.
This is a good operation. I hope they do it on a regular basis.
john,
i beat off to your girlfriend on the 2 train yesterday... please ask her if tomorrow around noon works for her.
thanks.
me
I'm not bitching,
Because there's actually a cop IN the subway car instead of scoping around stairways and corners looking for fare beaters.
It takes a real coward to get on a train and molest or flash a woman he doesn't know. It takes an even sicker coward to do these types of things in front of children. Keep the arrests coming. And victims, keep posting these perverts pictures online. Let's humiliate these idiots by letting their employers, neighbors, family & friends find out the truth...
Ri RATE Reing Rorcibly Rouched!!!
The world is truly going to hell when a man can't even rub one out on an unsuspecting woman on the subway without getting arrested.
I'm moving to Japan. They are more accepting of my needs.
LoLZ at Thao Nguyen being the Rosa Parks of male genitalia fondling.
Interlard: I used to think that too. But the last time I did that, the drunk asshole freaked out, started screaming that I was a bitch, and tried to punch me. Fortunately I ducked and he punched the pole.
The problem is, men will harrass women one way or another. It seems to be in the genes. If they can't accidentally rub against you, they'll harrass you verbally. I don't know who ya'lls' mothers are, but they should be ashamed.
ENTRAPMENT. I hope all 13 arrests are expunged.
Total BS, you are in danger of suggesting that the female body is asking to be groped and manhandled, and deserves said treatment. Actually, you know what? You are suggesting that. You suck.
Interesting that you should say that poophead. I was on the train yesterday and I saw this woman, who was extremely hot, bouncing around the platform at 42nd street. With a skimpy dress and a walk that says "I want to bang you". Her T&A were about to pop out of her outfit, risking injury to people passing by.
Now if that doesn’t say ‘please grope me’, I don't know what does.
I don't support public fapping but the way some women dress these days, sometimes perverts can't even help it.
*Cue Feminist attack on Kojak's statement..... now!
#21 Good luck with that entrapment defense. No one enticed fecal piles like you to force yourself upon the the women of NY. You did it of your own accord. Hopefully the judge will double your sentence for insulting her intelligence with your pathetic defense. I hope you're a bottom, cause sex offenders get *all* the attention in prision.
#21 has a point. Similarly, if you drive a red Ferrarri in a shady part of town and it gets jacked, the thief should be able to claim the same "entrapment" defense. You were tempting it, after all. And if you walk on the street flashing your brand new Rolex, well, you're just asking to get mugged. All charges should be thrown out in court. Got shanked uptown? Your fault, buddy. Shoulda known better than to display your "easy target"-looking self in a dangerous neighborhood.
The one thing I never understand is why other people on these trains don't just beat the hell out of these little pudwhackers? And they are always little.
Why do women especially hot ones dress really slutty like if they don't want guys staring at them or groping them? Anyway I think it's great that cops are finally trying to crack down on these pervs.
In Tokyo there are women only cars because people are so packed in on the trains and because there are so many cases of subway groping of girls and women of all ages.
Kojak's dad - I've confronted a couple of these pervs when I saw them harassing women, but sometimes they start acting all crazy and go ape-shit. What I usually try to do is put myself between the perv and the woman by standing in front of him or something.
It's a passive move that usually works; confrontation can sometimes make things worse, though. Another example is a fighting couple where the guy looks like he could get violent. If you just stand there and stare at him, he usually will calm down and realize he's losing it in public, and that nethod is better than saying something usually.
Women are not flattered by this. Men who harrass just tell themselves that so they can excuse their behavior. Are men still so full of fear and low-confidence that they need to slobber all over women on the street? You're making yourself look exactly the opposite of how you think you are looking... not like a man, but like a little douche who has never seen boobies before.
Are they going to crack down on the pervs hiding in the parks too? cuz there are a lot of them out there too.
As for pervs on the train, I sure wish more women would stop just sitting there trying to ignore perverts and just plain make a scene out of it. the more the creeps are put in fear, the less likely they are to keep doing it.
Taking their photo and posting it online isn't enough though. You have to bring those photos to the police. Since so few of these incidents get reported, the polcie don't act.
The squeaky wheel gets the oil...
Hopefully this little crackdown wasn't just a flash in the pan. A sustained effort to control this problem would be more than welcome.
Hmmmmmm, Well this whole "Flashing thing on the train is amusing at best. I'm not agreeing with it at all, Though somethings puzzle me about these occurrences. [1]Maybe if you ladies weren't so hellbent on dressing to provoke these pervs! I understand you have a right to dress the way you please{and I don't have a problem with it}. You have to take into account that these pervs are lonely desperate souls looking to take advanage of someone they view as "weak". We all know you ladies use your bodies, & the language of it to express your mood(s)for the day that's a normal thing. You have to be aware of your surroundings at all times (Sadly)
Don't go getting offended, You all know what I mean by that! Although sometimes it's just a preference by the perv that grabs attention.
I'm more interested in things like India's Blank Noise Project and efforts to curtail physical harassement of women. This Hollaback stuff and the emphasis on "pervy" crimes is laudable only to the extent that it really addresses an underlying problem rather than just making people feel like they got their money's worth from the witch hunt du jour.
I don't feel too happy that these creeps have done what they have done to our sisters, mothers, daughters, and teachers. Hey, this is worse than someone drinking their way to a Bad Neighborhood in a Lost Weekend like the Movie the Lost Weekend. Too much of this crow is happening in the High School System and worse, these creeps will only get younger and there aren't that many Men who want to be a Real Father Figure because they can't get their head separate from their thing anymore and I don't feel too comfortable with the Garbage in my Iowa Backyard, much less hearing about it from New York City because the Guys that these Hollaback Feminists snapped are no joke, creepier than that Creep Milhouse on The Simpsons.
I would like to say to the Women at Hollaback that you are doing a Great Service for Society and my word to the Women all over the World is if a Weird Man or a Creepy Boy tries his pervy scurvy over a Good, Honest Woman who's Schooling, Teaching, Working or just Plumb Old Enjoying Her Day Off and he wants to bribe a Date faster than Alabama, just ignore his attention and try to make sure that he is out of society's reach, for goodness sakes.
