A reporter for Deutsche Welle’s Spanish-language service was groped and kissed during a live broadcast in Manezhnaya Square, Moscow, shortly before the World Cup began on June 14.In a report that has since gone viral, Julieth Gonzalez Theran’s update on the atmosphere in Moscow is interrupted by a man who grabs her and kisses her on the cheek.She admirably keeps her cool to continue with her report.Afterwards, both Theran and Deutsche Welle condemned the incident. Posting the video to Instagram, Deutsche Welle said it was “not a kiss, it is a non-consensual attack.”On her personal Instagram, Theran said women should be considered equally valuable and professional. She said women should identify harassment. Credit: Deutsche Welle via Storyful
