Subway Platform Rape Victim Speaks Out

After a judge threw out a rape victim's negligence suit against the MTA and its workers for not helping stop the rape, the victim has now gone public to express her amazement at the ruling. Maria Besedin said, "I'm honestly still in shock. It's so hard for me to process this whole thing because I just really wanted everyone out there to be safe, to never have to experience anything like I did."

The Daily News reports that two separate incidents of women being raped by strangers yesterday morning. One incident occurred around 7AM, when a NJ woman headed to a Spanish Harlem building where she works as a baby-sitter. The woman was "grabbed," "dragged" and raped in the elevator. Police are not sure if she was followed (she had taken the 6 train to 103rd Street).
