Lamel Batten, 44, a homeless career criminal with 51 prior arrests, received only 15 days in jail for public sex crimes before attempting a brutal subway rape.
Despite having five open warrants and a long history of lewd acts, Lamel Batten was repeatedly sentenced lightly, raising serious questions about public safety.
One law enforcement source questioned New York City's safety, stating, 'How do we say we're the safest big city in the world when a guy like this is walking around?'
Batten's previous offenses involved public lewdness, yet he faced minimal consequences, serving just 15 days for two separate incidents of indecent exposure in 2022.
