Prosecutors pursuing the case against a man accused of raping a woman on a commuter train last week don’t anticipate charging fellow passengers for not intervening, a spokesperson for the suburban Philadelphia district attorney said.

“It’s still an open investigation, but there is no expectation at this time that we will charge passengers,” said Margie McAboy, spokeswoman for the Delaware County District Attorney’s office.Authorities continue to investigate the Oct.

13 attack, where a woman was repeatedly touched and groped over the course of a 40-minute ride despite trying to push 35-year-old Fiston Ngoy away, according to an arrest affidavit that detailed the surveillance footage from the train.Investigators say Ngoy ripped the woman’s pants off and proceeded to rape her for somewhere between six and eight minutes before officers boarded the train and detained him.

Don’t forget he was an illegal alien!!!!! From the republic of Congo.

Why not? Aren't they accessories to the crime? WTF?

That’s the eastern block country I know!

This whole thing is disgusting. Our Parents and Grandparents are ashamed of what we’ve allowed to happen to America.

Of course, because we live on planet earth

release their names, charge the ones who recorded it. it's philly. i've been thru that system. at the very least, they can inconvenience these people by forcing them thru an arraignment. then make a law outlawing the recording of sexual assaults by bystanders who don't get help

It's just so wrong

I mean, why charge them? It's not like they sat there and filmed a woman, without her consent, being raped, also without her consent.

So, video saving someone from a lifetime of horror. Got it. Signed, a survivor of 6 hr hell that wasn't condoned by a trainload of asshats.

To be clear it’s not Philadelphia’s DA saying this, it’s S—hole Upper Darby. If the crime was initiated while the train was still in Philly what’s to stop Larry Krasner from making an example of these pigs? For those insisting no crime was committed you’re what’s wrong w/society

This country really doesn't give a damn about women

Pennsylvania you need to pass some new laws

Sue everyone in the train

Stories like this make me want to root for COVID

What can we expect from that cowardly, selfish community.

If there are no by stander laws, then yes if state has it then I would ask why not

Disgusting. Charge them

Their names should be released to the public...

That's too bad they won't or can't charge them but at least they could publicly thank them by name as I understand the video evidence is valuable to the investigation

Yeah, because it’s not a crime

I am disgusted that they did nothing. Shame on them. Change, people!

Charge the riders with the rape, too. This is seriously fucked. Disturbing. Unfortunately a classic case of bystander effect where in a group of ppl everywhere assumes that someone else will call for help and so no one does. Has been around since the beginning of time.
