Grand Central more like sex crimes central: Nearly HALF of all subway sex crimes reported along Lexington Ave. line in Manhattan

SARAH RYLEY and PETE DONOHUE

Grand Central is Pervert Central.

Straphangers throughout the city reported being the victim of creeps bumping, grinding, groping, flashing and assaulting them more than 3,000 times over a five-year period — and Grand Central Station is the epicenter of subway sleaze, an unprecedented Daily News analysis of subway crime data revealed.

The NYPD recorded 369 misdemeanor sex crimes and eight felony sex crimes at the century-old transit hub, or on trains approaching it, from July 2008 through June 2013 — the highest reported tally for sex crimes at any station in the system during that time.

It also made misdemeanor sex crimes the most prevalent category of crime at Grand Central over those five years.
