Women have been living with this for hundreds of years. Not sure what trend you are talking about - all that has changed is more people feel comfortable reporting it now.

PP, you are correct. My elderly mother tells me when she was a teen she had to carry a sewing needle in her pocket every time she took a bus. That way any perv pressing on her would get a good poke!

Good idea. Either that or mace. (until they make mace illegal, which has happened in some jurisdictions)

When someone exposes themself, dont' the police charge it as indecent exposure or lewd/lacivious conduct, not as a sexual assault?

I had a guy grab my breast. Another rubbed his penis against me on a crowded train until I loudly asked him to stop.

I began to wear a thick coat to cut down on this.

Exactly. Where was Metro “police”?

I was flashed in the old Barnes and Nobles in Georgetown. By the time I alerted an employee, perp had skipped. Should have contacted Police. It's horrifying. Congrats to this fine citizen for taking action.

You must be built like the Grand Canyon. Nothing to brag about, IMO.

Honestly, if that thing points up like that and no one around and if you are feeling itchy... game on ladies!

No, he is simply rude and filthy, and ill mannered. There is no mental illness here, he wanted her to see it, she saw it, he maybe didn't get the result he was hoping for, but he knew what he was doing. I mean he didn't point that at a man did he? Sick of this mental health s t everyone throws around every time some ill mannered fool shows his s t. He should be arrested. Glad the woman is okay, but she will never feel safe again. He should go to jail

Puleeze. How do people with such weak constitutions survive in this world?

Gross. I had the same thing happen years ago, though on the blue line. It was very much intentional.

In retrospect, it’s ridiculous that women have to put up with this crap.

The DC Council has basically told the Metro police force to stop enforcing the law and arresting people. This is the result.

Mace is illegal in DC. The criminals don’t like it and the DC Council listens to them and their families.
