In 2016, after 6 years of promoting sexual crime and femicide, the New York Times used the obituary for Ms. Genovese's rapist and murderer to minimize the concept of the Bystander Effect.

The article is the first search result at Google for "rape and murder of Kitty Genovese."
The article describes three other rapes by Mr. Moseley, one of which he committed when he escaped from jail, two of which were also murders. Ms. Genovese was 28 when he raped and killed her; his other murder victims were 15 and 24.
The last words of the article, which are about his failed attempts at parole, are "denied him freedom."
