Cops, MTA Meet Council on Subway Sex Harassers; Cell Phones, "Wall of Shame" Suggested
![]() |
The meeting also revealed that harassment arrests are down and incidents are up, though slightly, from last year to this. Councilmember Peter Vallone suggested a "wall of shame" showing perps' faces, sort of like what they did with shoplifters last year at the Staten Island Mall.
Vallone also wants schoolgirls to carry cell phones to take perps' photos; maybe he can work with Holla Back on that. In fact, it might not be a bad idea to involve New Yorkers for Safe Transit and other groups who have been fighting this stuff for years, and to redirect subway police attention from buskers to gropers.
We continue to do our part, exposing subway masturbators and frotteurs whenever we hear of them.
