Felix Rojas, 44, has been indicted for allegedly robbing and attempting to sexually assault Jorge Gonzalez, a man who lost consciousness on a subway train. The incident occurred shortly after midnight on April 9. Prosecutors claim Rojas assaulted Gonzalez, who was motionless and later found dead at the station. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg condemned Rojas's actions as egregious and emphasized the ongoing efforts to ensure subway safety, even as transit crime rates decline. The investigation continues to determine if Gonzalez had died during the assault, which complicates the charges.
Felix Rojas allegedly sexually assaulted a completely physically helpless man on the subway. This conduct is egregious, and we will prosecute this case to the fullest extent.
While transit crime is down, I want New Yorkers to know that we are continuing to work with our law enforcement partners to make our bustling subway system safe.
