How does a guy who molests women on the subway get started? The Daily News found the disturbing answer to that and other questions with a jailhouse interview with serial subway pervert Freddie Johnson.
Johnson was arrested for the 53rd time--and the 29th time for a sexual offense--last week when undercover police saw him rubbing up against a Hunter College freshman. His life of crime origin story: Seeing a man rub against a woman on a subway in 1982--"After the assault, he said, the man dashed off the train, and the woman continued on, unfazed."
Some other choice thoughts from Johnson, who was dubbed a "recidivist transit grinder" by the Manhattan DA's office: "I've never been violent. At most, this is disorderly conduct. I would never hurt anyone" and "When there's this many attractive women in the city and on the subways, don't they know [this will happen]?"

the "she was asking for it" defense... LOL
america's justice system at work...
Thank heaven he wasn't in the same car as those Metrocard tarts from a few weeks back.
Chop his nuts off already. Gosh.
What a scumbag.
I sense jeans with mandoline slicer blades sewn into the back of them will be the new hot trend in the city this season.
"When there's this many attractive women in the city and on the subways, don't they know [this will happen]?"
Apparently (according to this guy, it seems) NYC women should be wearing burqas.
death by firing squad.
Similar attitude to that raw foods chef that was arrested earlier.
Thanks for the compliment!
He is a scum but let's not forget the laws that are in place and who passed such laws so someone like this can be on the streets.
Thank the judge too.
It is weird how unapologetic these guys tend to be when busted. The attitude seems like "Sure, I broke my junk out and was grinding on some girl; but what do you expect? She was hot, and probably liked it anyway." They seem like textbook examples of people who will elevate their action to rape or sexual assault, and in their minds, will find themselves faultless. A good testicle-stomping may be in order.
He actually whipped it out and rubbed it on women, as opposed to simply poking them with his pants-tent? That's pretty hard to imagine. And stupid/gross. Just saying, that's nuts. (tip your waitresses!)
Sigh.
Hey, he did it to some ugly broads too, it was a compliment! Makes 'em feel better!
Stop being hot, ladies!
"When there's this many attractive women in the city and on the subways, don't they know [this will happen]?"
Theres a point to this. Some women dress so skanky its as if they want the whole world to look at them, and then when they see some sleazeball gawking at them, they go 'OMG ew, whats with all these guys looking at my tits??, how RUDE!'
However, this doesn't excuse his junk rubbing.
That's right, he's a victum of (an attractive female) society. Throw him in a cell with Bubba and call it a day.
I'm compelled to say something snarky but sadly I don't know what "Recidivist" means.
The only difference between this guy and me is that he's a recidivist transit grinder and I'm a recidivist transit fantisizer.
Why do you think Bloomberg rides the subway every morning?
I haven't seen a picture of this guy but I am guessing he's a disaster.
Tuck in your shirt, do some sit-ups and brush your teeth and maybe, MAYBE you could get one of this women to touch your penis (consensually).
Also it helps if you are white and rich.
When I was in high school, a guy rubbed on on my friend on the train to the point of ejaculation. She was hysterical.
I'm not sure she was asking for it, unless he had a quiet asian girl fetish, but she now owns a strip club, so it is entirely possible.
death by firing squad +1
Yes. My appearance is completely responsible for your inability to behave like an adult. I'm so glad we've got that cleared up.
I personally take offense when I'm NOT molested on the subway.
Yes, there are many women on the streets today who dress like prostitutes.
No, that's not a reason to physically assault them.
All I want to know is..why the hell is this waste of space still getting press? Does the newsreading public care that much about the inner monologue of a such a pathetic, desperate loser?
Freddie, if I've told you once, I've told you a *thousand* times...you can play recidivist transit grinder with me at *home*. NOT on the subway
Crazy how much the city has changed, huh? In 1982, the woman continued on, unfazed, it reads...
Yeah back then, I suppose you'd only raise a little bit of a stink if you got stabbed in the eye with a screwdriver.
