Serial Subway Groper Arrested Once Again

[mikesilvia]

This is one of the reasons I prefer to live in more conservative states. They are more tough on crime. This "serial groper" has been arrested 53 times! As a state government, at what point do you actually concern yourself more with the well being of your citizens and less with the rights of a criminal?

About two weeks after he was released from prison, Freddie Johnson boarded a crowded subway train in Manhattan and illegally rubbed up against a woman, authorities said.

It is a fairly common crime on subways in New York. But this was no common criminal.

Johnson has been arrested a staggering 53 times -- the majority for groping women on the subway, police and prosecutors said.

In his latest arrest, Johnson was being followed by plainclothes officers who recognized him from police photos, authorities said. He was charged with persistent sexual abuse, and if convicted this time, he could be sent away for life. The district attorney's office branded him a "recidivist transit grinder" at a court hearing earlier this week.
