OBAMA LET IN THIS CONGO IMMIGRANT REPEAT RAPIST.

The rape lasted about eight minutes and none of the other
passengers intervened, SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch noted

The passengers who did not intervene as a woman was raped on the
night of Wednesday, October 13, on a train near Philadelphia
could be criminally charged, authorities have said. They noted
how riders did not even call the police as the crime unfolded
and took pictures and videos instead.

Surveillance footage from a Southeastern Pennsylvania
Transportation Authority (SEPTA) train showed a man boarding a
westbound train at about 10 pm and sitting next to a woman.
Upper Darby Township Police Department Superintendent Timothy
Bernhardt noted how 35-year-old Fiston Ngoy “sat next to her for
a conversation" before ripping her clothes off and "just
completely overpowered the woman and forcibly raped her.” The
assault lasted about eight minutes and none of the other
passengers intervened, SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch noted.

Bernhardt said there were several passengers in the train car,
but declined to say how many. He told the New York Times that
investigators were still working to determine the exact number.
He acknowledged that there weren't “dozens of people” in the car
at the time, but said there were enough that, “collectively,
they could have gotten together and done something.”

“I’m appalled by those who did nothing to help this woman,”
Bernhardt told NYT on Sunday, October 16. “Anybody that was on
that train has to look in the mirror and ask why they didn’t
intervene or why they didn’t do something,” he added. Busch said
authorities were finally alerted by a female SEPTA employee who
boarded the train and witnessed the incident firsthand. An
officer from SEPTA's police department subsequently intervened
after the train stopped at 69th Street Transportation Center in
Upper Darby.

Speaking to the Philadelphia Inquirer on Saturday, October 15,
Bernhardt said it was unclear whether other riders simply
ignored the attack or were too afraid to act. Authorities were
reviewing surveillance footage to examine the passengers'
behavior. “If somebody who witnessed this had called 911, it’s
possible that we would have been able to intervene even sooner,”
Busch added.

Court records indicate that Ngoy has since been charged with
rape, sexual assault, and aggravated indecent assault without
consent, among other crimes. He is currently being held at the
Delaware County jail on $180,000 bail. Speaking to NYT,
authorities said Ngoy was homeless and not armed at the time of
the attack. Following the arrest, the victim, who cannot be
named for legal reasons, was taken to a hospital for treatment.
“I spoke with the victim and she is an unbelievably strong
woman,” Bernhardt said. “I can’t say enough about her, how she
was able to identify her attacker, tell us what happened. Now
she’s working… to get through this.”

Busch explained that SEPTA’s police officers and several unarmed
guards regularly patrol its stations and trains, but mainly
respond to reports of robberies and thefts. However, this sexual
assault could lead the transit authority to increase security,
he added.

Speaking of the bystanders, Bernhardt said that those who failed
to intervene could be criminally charged if they recorded the
harrowing ordeal, and this would be decided by the district
attorney’s office once they receive the final police
investigation report. However, the superintendent added that
Pennsylvania does not have a Good Samaritan law, thereby making
it “very difficult to bring charges against those” who witnessed
the attack but did nothing to stop it.

Bernhardt explained that the most "appalling" aspect of the case
was the lack of empathy displayed by fellow passengers. He said
the footage reviewed by authorities clearly showed an
opportunity to intervene. “I’m just speechless,” he said. “To be
a victim of a crime like this and be victimized a second time is
absolutely horrible. I don’t know where we are in a society that
people can’t help other people out in a time of need.”

The police superintendent explained there were several things
witnesses could do to intervene — call 911, alert the train
conductor, or scream in order to distract the attacker.
