Felix Rojas, a 44-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico, has been charged with the depraved act of raping a corpse on a Manhattan subway train.
The New York Post has exclusively learned that Rojas, who allegedly defiled the body of 37-year-old family man Jorge Gonzalez, crossed the US-Mexico border at least five times before his arrest, evading authorities until this sickening crime.
Rojas, also known as Felix Jeronimo-Rojas, unlawfully entered the United States multiple times in the late 1990s, according to an ICE spokesperson. Border Patrol agents encountered him three times in 1998 and once in 1999, each time allowing him to voluntarily return to Mexico.
However, Rojas managed to slip back into the country undetected at least one more time, remaining under the radar until his arrest by NYPD officers on Sunday night for the shocking April 8 incident.

The New York Post reported:
Surveillance footage showed Rojas first rifle through Gonzalez’s pockets to allegedly rob him, then return to sexually assault the man’s corpse, prosecutors said.
The alleged necrophiliac repeatedly zipped up his pants and pulled Gonzalez’s trousers up as the train stopped to avoid being caught in the perverted act, according to prosecutors.
The debased rape unfolded over the course of more than 30 minutes, prosecutors said.
Gonzalez’s death is believed to be from natural causes, sources have said.
Rojas, who faces multiple charges of rape and grand larceny, was ordered held without bail.
He had submitted a “passport from another country” when he turned himself in to the NYPD, prosecutors said, but officials didn’t publicly reveal his immigration status until now.
