The NYPD is looking for a man seen on video performing sex acts on a corpse on a subway in the city, according to law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation.

Investigators believe the body may have been on the train for hours before the disturbing incidents captured on the R train, the sources said.

According to the sources, the investigation started with the discovery of a body on the train at Whitehall Station early Wednesday. Police immediately reviewed MTA subway cameras and found footage of the acts.

Sources say the suspect performed or tried to perform various sex acts on the body, and that he would wait for moments when the train car was empty to pursue his attack. It's believed the entire assault, which sources say involved pulling the body from the train seat to the floor, took several minutes.

News 4 has obtained a surveillance photo of the suspect (above).

I wonder what the possible range of sentences in NYC for public necrophilia is.

I also wonder what led us to the point in society where I can use 'public necrophilia' in a sentence and have it be 100% serious (and relevant).

Wait... so it sounds like this guy didn't bring the corpse there. Like, someone died on the subway, and someone decided to sexually assault the body.
