Legal experts said unrelated passengers don’t have a legal duty to intervene under Pennsylvania law.

“Unless they have a legal duty to intervene, like a parent for their child, a person cannot be prosecuted for sitting back and doing nothing,” said Jules Epstein, a law professor and director of advocacy programs at Temple University Beasley School of Law.

Busch said the employee who called the police, entered the train car after the assault had begun, but his call meant police had an opportunity to arrest Ngoy. SEPTA’s police chief, Nestel has said Philadelphia 911 did not receive any calls about the attack. He said Monday operators at Delaware County 911 were still researching whether it received calls.

Trump sets up huge legal fight to keep White House records secretTrump's lawyers said a request by the congressional January 6 committee for records linked to the insurrection were 'invalid' under the Constitution. For an innocent, transparent, stable genius with great and unmatched wisdom, and nothing to hide, Donald spends an inordinate amount of time, money, and energy trying to keep things hidden. Odd, too, the material he's fighting to keep hidden would actually prove his innocence. Actually the constitution doesn’t give a former President powers to invoke privileges he doesn’t have. You are the “former” President, not the POTUS. Trump was still president, therefore the records request is absolutely valid.

Charges unlikely for riders who saw Philadelphia train rapePHILADELPHIA (AP) — 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. I am disgusted that they did nothing. Shame on them. Change, people! 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
