Man Indicted, Accused Of Sexually Abusing Corpse On NYC Subway

NEW YORK CITY — A man indicted on charges and is accused of sexually abusing a corpse in a New York City subway train in April, prosecutors announced on Wednesday

Felix Rojas, 44, of Brooklyn, has been charged with attempted rape, sexual misconduct and attempted grand larceny.

Rojas was arrested and taken into custody on April 27 in connection to the April 9 incident, Patch previously reported.

The incident happened around 11:45 p.m. aboard an R train at the Whitehall Station in Lower Manhattan, police said.

MTA employees and police found the dead body the next morning and reviewed security footage where they saw the suspect perform the sex acts, Patch previously reported.

The 37-year-old man, whose body was sexually abused, has since been identified as Jorge Gonzalez.

"This conduct is egregious, and we will prosecute this case to the fullest extent,” District Attorney Alvin Bragg said. “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. My thoughts are with Jorge Gonzalez’s loved ones, who are continuing to mourn his tragic loss.”
