On the afternoon of 19 August 2005, Thao Nguyen was taking the New York City subway back to her office when a man sat down across from her and began fondling himself, extracted his penis from his pants and beginning to masturbate. Nervous and wanting to feel safer, she removed her camera-enabled cellphone and eventually took a picture of the masturbator. He left the train at the next stop. Ms. Nguyen immediately reported the incident to a police officer.
