DW reporter sexually assaulted during live World Cup broadcast in Russia
Julieth Gonzalez Theran, a Colombian reporter sexually assaulted on live TV during a live broadcast on the ongoing 2018 World Cup.
She was standing in a city square in Saransk, Russia, late last week reporting on the World Cup for Deutsche Welle, when a man came running up into the shot. The man grabbed Gonzalez Theran and her breast, kissed her on the cheek, and quickly took off.
Gonzalez Theran, though, didn’t let the attack faze her one bit. She impressively continued right on with her report as if nothing had happened — even while the man was groping her.
