5 Reasons JFK Was A Creepy, Lecherous Bastard

5 Reasons JFK Was A Creepy, Lecherous Bastard

It goes without saying that John F. Kennedy's missile was never in crisis (ZING). The 35th president has a long and storied list of not-Jackies that he bedded and his quicksilver loins are ensconced in American political lore. But a new autobiography written by JFK's 19-year-old White House intern, Mimi Alford, makes the man look less like a smooth operator and more like a garden-variety pervert. Using an excerpt of the book obtained by the Post, we've determined these moments to be JFK's creepiest. more ›

DSK Case May Rest On Tape Of Lunch At McCormick & Schmick's

DSK Case May Rest On Tape Of Lunch At McCormick & Schmick's

What if your life depended on a lunch you had at McCormick & Schmick's? With the actual details of what happened in Dominique Strauss-Kahn's Sofitel hotel room forever relegated to he-said-she-said testimony, the disgraced former IMF head's sexual assault charge against a hotel maid may rest on the details of the lunch he had immediately after the alleged incident occurred. The Times reports that if one of the restaurant's cameras captured Strauss-Kahn's 90-minute lunch with his daughter, "It could bolster the defense case if they laugh or appear to share a leisurely meal," or support the prosecution if the tape shows the "Frenchman looking distracted or upset." Presumably of equal import is whether Strauss-Kahn ordered the Stoic Pervy Prawn Platter or the Skittish Shrimp Basket with a side of Edgy Finger-Tapping. more ›

Up-Skirt Pervert In Park Slope Key Food Foiled By Workers

Up-Skirt Pervert In Park Slope Key Food Foiled By Workers

An unidentified man with a cell phone and a burning desire to see up a woman's skirt had his perverse predilection precluded in a Park Slope supermarket this morning. It all happened around 11 a.m. in Aisle Five of the Key Food on Fifth Avenue when a shopper wearing a calf-length summer dress noticed a man following her as she browsed. The pervy perp, who wore aviator sunglasses, was described as "handsome" by witnesses, who tell the Post the woman caught him trying to take photos up her skirt with his cell phone. more ›

Allegedly Pervy Cookbook Author Wants Tryst With 16-Year-Old Off Limits At Trial

Allegedly Pervy Cookbook Author Wants Tryst With 16-Year-Old Off Limits At Trial

Attorneys defending a 67 year-old Westchester cookbook author from federal human trafficking violations and sexual abuse charges are attempting to suppress information that he had a legal, consensual encounter with a 16 year-old girl in Michigan in 2008. (At the time, the age of consent in that state was 16.) The Post reports that the lawyers told the judge "the questionable ethical and moral choice of an older man sleeping with a very young female would "lead many jurors to hate [Joseph] Yannai," and after stressing that his behavior was "not criminal," it "would certainly be viewed as abhorrent by a large portion of society." more ›

NJ Could Criminalize Taking Photographs Of Children

NJ Could Criminalize Taking Photographs Of Children

If you live in the Garden State and "take a picture of your child at the Jersey shore, building a sand castle, and there were other children in the background," you might someday be charged with a crime. Right now, such a law is being debated in the New Jersey legislature would include broad language that "would make it a third degree crime to photograph or video tape children when a 'reasonable parent or guardian would not expect his child to be the subject of such reproduction." A third degree crime in New Jersey carries a maximum sentence of 3-5 years in prison. more ›

Cuomo Accuses Tagged.com Of Keeping Pervs On The Site

Cuomo Accuses Tagged.com Of Keeping Pervs On The Site

Attorney General Andrew Cuomo hit social networking company Tagged.com with a "notice of his intent to sue the company for failing to protect children from being exposed to graphic images of child pornography." A press release from his office notes that Tagged, which is aimed at teenagers, claims to be dedicated to "child safety and responsiveness to complaints," but an investigation found Tagged was slow to respond to complaints of "graphic images of children being sexually abused, inappropriate sexual communications between adults and minors, and content that advocates pedophilia." Ugh. more ›

Could an Anti-Groping Campaign Increase Unseemly Underground Behavior?

Could an Anti-Groping Campaign Increase Unseemly Underground Behavior?

Would an anti-groping ad campaign provoke more frequent bad behavior in New York's pervy subway sleezes? Following last year's study by Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, transit officials began working on a public awareness campaign to stop the offenders; the study found 63% of respondents have been sexually harassed and 10% reported having been sexually assaulted in the subway system. The NY Post reports on concerns that have stalled the campaign.

Anti-groping campaigns have been launched in cities such as Boston [pictured], where trains and buses are adorned with posters bearing such slogans as "Rub against me and I'll expose you," and "Flash someone and you'll be exposed." The number of reported groping incidents there did rise with the campaign, officials said. Boston police said there were 38 incidents reported through June of this year compared with 17 during the same period last year.
However, anti-harassment organizations have been pushing for the ads to go public, saying that it would educate straphangers and make the subways safer. Most of all, there would likely be an increase in reporting the deviant behavior if the campaign ran; even in Boston the rise in incidents is attributed to victims speaking up. Until the ads reach the subway system, however, keep reporting any raunchy riders you encounter to the NYPD, and visit Holla Back New York to post cameraphone pics of the pervs! more ›
