TV Presenter Groped At World Cup
A football fan kissed and fondled a TV journalist's breast while she was live on air reporting on the World Cup in Russia.
Colombian reporter Julieth Gonzalez Theran, who works for a German TV station, said she was disgusted and upset by the incident that happened when she was working in the city of Saransk.
"He came at me, gave me a kiss and he touched my breast. I had to continue, afterwards I tried to see if the man was still there but he had left," she said.
"We do not deserve this treatment. We are equally as professional and deserving. I share the joy of football but we must identify the limits between affection and harassment."
A clip of the incident was uploaded onto YouTube, which you can view here...
