Accused T Groper: 'I Did It, And I Liked It'

Unfortunately, some people don't get it until it happens to their wife , mother, daughter or sister

clipped from wbztv.com When a female rider on the T was eastbound from Copley Station on Monday, someone from behind grabbed her buttocks. She turned to her female friend, and said incredulously, "Did you grab my a**?" But when her friend said "no," a male's voice from behind said, "I did it! And I liked it! But you'll never see me again." Well, the groper was wrong. The victim found T police, and when she spotted the man, she pointed him out. Now, 52-year-old William Carlisle of Boston is under arrest, charged with indecent assault and battery -- a 5-year felony. In the past 18 months, the T Police have stepped up their program against riders who grope female riders. So far, they've had nearly 100 reports of riders being groped William Carlisle is the latest to be arrested. "This is a serious issue," said T Police Chief Paul MacMillan. "It's sexual assault, pure and simple. How would you like it if it was your wife, or sister, or mother? We want to make the T safe and comfortable for everyone."
