A man who repeated assaulted women on subway trains was arrested yesterday. The Daily News reports that while Freddie Johnson has a 57-page rap sheet and was only out of jail for 15 days (for prior sexual offenses--he was even wearing his electronic monitoring anklet!), he still decided to molest a Hunter College freshman on the 6 train.
Johnson, per the Post, rubbed "his genitals against a horrified woman" during yesterday's morning rush hour. Undercover police, who had been notified of Johnson's release by the parole board and were given a photograph of him, saw him at the 28th Street station.
They then followed him onto a train where they saw him molest Nicole Amaya and eventually arrested him at the 59th Street station. NYPD Transit Bureau commanding officer Chief James Hall explained, "Given his history, we thought it would be good to keep an eye on him to see if he goes back to his old ways, which he did."
Amaya told the News, "I was in complete shock and I was really scared...I hope he's locked away for a long time." That seems likely--29 of his past 53 offenses are sexual offenses on the subway. And one female straphanger lamented, "The train is very crowded and you don't notice if someone is rubbing against you inappropriately." And female police officers have gone undercover to nab subway perverts before in Operation Exposure.





Maybe he should be banned from riding the subway, dunno?
Maybe someone should dejunk him.
Aside from the fact that this guy needs help in the form of a straightjacket, is it not completely hilarious that his last name is Johnson?
maybe he should be shot in the head!
WTF!! 15 days!? Fuck this messed up men!
fuck them in the head with a fkn bullet.
Parasites that never will be normal!
Why do we women have to "forgive" this fuckers when women get stoned by uncovering their faces.
Come on people he only had 53 priors. That was his training period. Practice makes perfect they say. Great parole board we have here in the state. Give the guy a blow up doll and set him in a padded cell for the rest of his life and the world will be a better place. Oh I forgot to add, no food or water until he says he's sorry.
At least the cops were keeping an eye on the guy.
Jail doesn't really work, obviously, in "curing" people who commit sex crimes. Then again, no one has really figured out how to cure these people, except for maybe chemical castration.
[...I hope he's locked away for a long time." That seems likely--29 of his past 53 offenses are sexual offenses on the subway.]
So it seems likely that on his THIRTIETH subway offense he'll be locked up?
maybe the should end his meaningless life.
Matty and babyhitler, these comments are lonely without you.
The current penal system is just a warehouse for offenders- there is no rehabilitation and most of the incarcerated will get back on the streets.
candidate for castration if you ask me.
amsci.. totally unrelated to anything going on here, but i have to tell you.. i love the picture of dr. steve brule.
I don't think they've figured out definitively that rehabilitation for sex offenders even works. Scary in a way, isn't it? Maybe in the future there will be a solution for everyone's sake.
With a 57 page rap sheet why was this guy even out in public? He should be behind bars for life.
I wonder how long the cops let him rub his junk on Amaya before they arrested him?
"Well, it's been three minutes. Want to break it up?"
"Hold up, I'm almost finished with this sudoku..."
Even if you castrate them, they've still got.. you know.. fingers.
wtf?! what idiotic misogynistic bleeding heart idiots were on that parole board to actually let him out??
they watched???? then got him?? uhmm..
Wow, are justice system at work. Jesus, what's it going to take to lock this guy up for a long time?
Good job NYPD! But I have to agree with Donner - if he's done this (read: been caught doing this) 29 times before why think that this time the courts will lock him up and throw away the key? In fact, the lack of justice for prior offenses probably emboldened him to try again. What they should do is wire that monitoring thing on his ankle to send 50,000 volts through his balls any time he enters the subway system.
I would also like to point out that by virtue of posting here today I have proven that I am in fact NOT Freddie Johnson. I know Matty's from Chicago, but indeed where is babyhitler?
Law & Order SVU will be doing an episode based on these crimes, except in their version the criminal will be white.
Youtube or it didn't happen...
Clearly you people are unaware of New York's "30 Strikes and You're Out" law.
I guess if there was such a prolific sexual offender running around here, he's HAVE to be named Freddie Johnson.
Matty and babyhitler, these comments are lonely without you.
Curious...
; )
What a whack job!
Yeah, I hope those undercover cops slap handcuffs on the testicles of the next one they catch!
"Freddy Johnson". You can't make this shit up! I wonder how many of his "victims" didn't complain? How many got a secret thrill? How many wished those doors would never open?
they should cut off his balls and feed it to him while he bleeds to death. i hate sex offenders.
I say throw all sex offenders on North Brother Island. Let them play a fun game of Hungry Hungry Hippo with each other. Oh yeah, and maybe throw in a fun dose of smallpox.
