This is repulsive and he should be charged. Yuck. As disgusting as this is I'm glad that she documented it. Probably nothing will be done anyway.

When I've had various run ins with men on public transit I get loud in hopes of shaming them and drawing attention. Not one time has anyone come to my aid by telling the guy to knock it off or anything. Everyone looks out the window and I've felt I might as well be alone.

I have always helped when I see women being harassed. I was working downtown and I saw a woman being chased on the street by a crazy man. I stuck my head out the window and yelled at him to leave her alone and pick on someone his own size. He came to the edge of my job site and screamed at me for 15 minutes, calling me every name in the book. Finally my coworkers were able to convince him to leave. I don't care, I'm just glad he stopped terrorizing that petite woman.

I wish people would speak up more when they can.
