“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,” said District Attorney Bragg. “While transit crime is down, I want New Yorkers to know that we are continuing to work with our law enforcement partners make our bustling subway system safe. My thoughts are with Jorge Gonzalez’s loved ones who are continuing to mourn his tragic loss.”

“This is an incredibly disturbing series of alleged incidents that targeted multiple victims,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I thank the NYPD for quickly apprehending this defendant, and urge anyone who has been the victim of a sexual abuse should call our Special Victims Division at 212-335-9373.” 

“This alleged abuse is extremely disturbing and no employee should have to endure this at their place of work,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Our thorough investigation has led to upgraded charges against this defendant, as he is now charged with two serious felonies, demonstrating how abhorrent the allegations are and how seriously we are taking this matter.”

“We allege that Ryan Hemphill raped and violently assaulted six different women in his apartment in just five months,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Further, we allege that he threatened the women and used his position as an attorney to intimidate them and prevent them from reporting these crimes. This investigation is ongoing, and we have reason to believe there may be additional survivors. Our talented prosecutors and investigators, as well as our specially trained counselors, are here to support you, no matter how powerful the person who assaulted you may seem. Please call our Special Victims Division at 212-335-3400.”
