old news, but still new enough ;)

the flashing has been occurring for awhile now -- two weeks at least. my husband is a big fan of the NYC subway community and they have a message board with perhaps 100 active members about sightings on subways -- well, apparently this chick is not the only one who saw some dude's peener. (these subway message board dudes have seen it too.) there was even an article about it (featuring the pic in the OP -- cropped, of course) in the NY daily news over the weekend.

If I get it right, the woman upped the photos hours after he molested her. I think this is understandable to some degree, but it's bad in my opinion because privacy is a right for everyone and in a constitutional state only the police and courts should pull offenders out of anonymity. I think of him too as a poor devil with a psychic problem without to judge his ability to get fined or jailed.

But would the police not have found him without this kind of public support? What if this guy is cured in few years and gets identified by a potential future employer?

he would not get much if anything if he was caught. the fact that the police did not even bother seeing the picture is clear indication of how serious this matter is to them

Taking a pic and posting it is free speech. There's not going to be a pity party for a freak exposing himself to women on the subway...if his business and life in general is destroyed as a result, he is 100% at fault.

If the situation was reversed....would the guy actually complain?

The sad thing is, if the situation was reversed, most people would still see the guy as the @sshole, just for taking pics of her.

As with most other things, clearly the anandtech "whip it out" isn't the correct approach. :p

SUBWAY SICKO'S '94 BUST EXPOSED

By PERRY CHIARAMONTE and IKIMULISA LIVINGSTON

A city restaurateur suspected of being a subway perv had been busted years ago for exposing himself on a train platform, law-enforcement sources said yesterday.

Authorities said Dan Hoyt ? a leading expert on raw foods and the owner of two Manhattan eateries ? agreed to appear in lineups after six women went to cops complaining that a man recently performed sick acts in front of them in the subway.

It was not immediately clear when or where the lineups will take place.

Hoyt, 43, was identified based on a published snapshot that one of the alleged victims took with her camera cellphone during the incident.

Investigators last night canvassed Hoyt's East Village neighborhood, asking residents questions about him.

Hoyt, whose restaurants are called Quintessence, had been arrested in 1994 for exposing and touching himself on a subway platform, the sources said.

At the time, Hoyt was charged with public lewdness but pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct, according to the law-enforcement sources.

He served two days of community service as punishment, they said.

The photo that prompted his current trouble was snapped by a 22-year-old woman last week after a man exposed himself to her on a subway, the sources said.

Since then, five other women have gone to the police to complain that the man in the cellphone photo performed similar acts in front of them, the sources added.

Prediction: picture-taker gets arrested.

Taking pictures on the subway is illegal since shortly after 9/11. Welcome to the police state.
