Man Charged With Rape, Robbery of Subway Corpse

Felix Rojas, 44, was arrested and charged with first-degree rape and is also accused of robbing the corpse of Jorge Gonzalez, 37, on an R train in Manhattan in early April. The incident, captured on security cameras, occurred after Gonzalez died reportedly of natural causes possibly linked to alcoholism and cirrhosis. Rojas allegedly committed both crimes before fleeing, then turned himself in to police, accompanied by his son, after authorities released suspect images. Police are seeking another individual seen stealing from Gonzalez after the incident. Rojas, who has no prior criminal history or sex offender registration, has been remanded following his arraignment. The case has shocked the public and reignited debate over subway safety in New York City.
