“Did he just touch your butt?” A Spanish TV reporter was groped live on air, with a man appearing to grab her bottom. The suspect was arrested minutes later on suspicion of sexual assault, with authorities acting swiftly at a time when sexism is in the spotlight.

Good result
The women should dress properly inorder to avert such scenarios. Am very sorry for the reporter. She deserves respect 🙌
Stop victim shaming.
This kind of casual misogyny, much like UK casual racism, has no place anywhere in the world in 2023
The frustrating thing is the Isa tried to continue because that’s how oppressed she feels. She felt she had to continue reporting probably out of fear of losing her job.
Whilst we say credit to the anchor man. The story of people not reporting or responding out of fear is almost as scary as the ordeal itself.
White Knight
you are so stupid
she feels so oppressed that she adjusts his position in front of the camera and touches his back and chest, not even two second after he touched her lower back
This is common amongst women who experience these things. That’s why society must stand up for them.
I think Isa just wants to do her job. Not out of feelings of oppression, but because she just wants to do her job.
I can’t believe what I just saw!
He lightly tapped her, not saying it should happened by any means but that’s not a grope 🤦♀️ poor word choice for the clicks
I think a fine, if he has had no previous sexual related crime & possibly tagged, with a curfew. Everyone should then move on, especially msm & the likes of the bbc, as no one was injured !
It is a crime.
You are right that a proportional response legally should be imposed on the man. Hopefully he learns from that because this will be on his record and he repeats it and gets caught again the second time and subsequent times the judge and authorities will not be lenient We don’t know what charges this man has against his name so what you are saying is assumption.
Borat never knew it´s illegal
In defense of romanians, that’s a gypsy and not a romanian. They are a well known minority in our country for their “compassion, calm, anti-theft” culture.
It’s just a bit of cultural confusion, right? 😂
Wow i totally changed my mind about spain in recent months… i really didnt know this sort of things exist in spanish society, what a shame
His whole demeanour is creepy, condescending and suspicious
Good on that anchor.
Dogs are present everywhere yet they are civilians of so called well cultured European.
This happens in china, India, Middle East, Africa, americas, and everywhere you can conceive of. Only the west has more cameras to capture it. I hear if child rapes in India, africa, and the west. Are they invited by the children to do so too.
This is a question about men controlling their urges and doing things that are wrong.
Happens everywhere. Not just Europe
A nuisance, but not an assault.
It is an ‘indecent sexual assault’
In most countries there will be degrees of assault. In this case it is both a nuisance and an assault.
Maybe he thought that he was in Italy?
They have a uncivilised culture.
Here in Somalia that would not never happen.
Everyone knows how to behave in our muslim society.
So why is your country so fkd up???
do the pirates know how to behave too?
good police
I feel sorry for her, she didn’t what to do she thought it was her fault and when the man ask about it she was like ashamed to say that she was actually being a victim of sa
What’s that idiot done in the past with other women !!!
burqa would solve this problem
Once again, you are saying that a woman is inviting the touch and the man is not to blame. Reframe tour thinking and perhaps ask the man to not touch any woman without their permission.
@Mark Tomson , that would happenn only when you can delete genes
You are delusional. All women can get rape, no matter what they wear
He will be in charge of football in Spain fairly soon.
What is wrong with that guy. thank Allah he was arrested.
I’m thanking the people that were there for his arrest.
Street Pick up artist are still alive and active. Great ❤ but guy needs more calibration heheh
You can’t charge someone for ‘communicating’. Surely? He’s tactile.😅
I feel this is staged to push certain talking points and changes in society. There is emphasis on this at the moment, like regarding the Luis Rubiales situation. Many years ago I would ask myself; why out of potentially millions of news stories every day does the mainstream news focus on a select few stories which get plastered on all different platforms?
If you can change the publics mind about something you can create certain changes in society and pass certain laws. I am not saying it is right to touch someone without there permission, however context is important to take into account. But men are approaching women less and less these days because they don’t want to deal with being seen to be harassing someone. This guys actions were strange to me, especially knowing she was a reporter with a camera in front of her? Guy must have either been really stupid or it was staged.
There are many women that are unhappy that men are no longer approaching them for dating. So it is obvious that these narratives only create more of a divide. The question is; who benefits from men and women at conflict and distancing themselves away from each other? Something off about this to me, but I could be wrong…
Well if no one knew who that reporter was up to now, she is famous now…
Crime of the century.
International embarrassment for Spain
She is super hot but that guy deserves to be taught a lesson I hope he gets time and a record.
Gaslighting her too….”no I didn’t touch you, how could you even suggest it?” You’re on camera, a**hole!! This is so typical. His mind and his hands are separate then…? Also the nerve of trying to touch her head afterwards. Who raised this man…Andrew Tate!? 🤮🤮
You can tell just by looking at him what he’s like 🤢🤮 good he got caught lowlife 😂
Still you don’t support Taliban government. ? !!!
wow what an idiot
Catholics are out of control
Great job
Glad he was arrested! But he acted like as if its not a big deal which means he probably does this all the time! 😤
Meanwhile in places such as qutar and palestine young girls are traded for livestock animals.
I am sorry for this bitter incident
The faultv lies on the TV station
What a Big Dope!
What a weirdo!
This man did what so many, many men do. They feel entitled to touch women whenever or wherever they want to. These men think it is nothing, just shrugging it off as something funny, IT IS SOMETHING! I’m glad he was arrested. Thanks for posting this and a BIG thanks to the man who interrupted the reporter and changed the focus of the story to what just happened to her.
So many men? Dont lump the majority of men into this. Most of us are too afraid to even approach a women these days w/o being accused of something. Not saying what he did was right, just calm down towards the majority of us because its not true.
@Anonymity I wish what you said was true. It is not. Gather 5-6 women together, of all ages and backgrounds, and you will hear a lifetime of what I call “free feels” stories. It happens everywhere, at all ages and in so many situations. I’m glad that you are an exception.
The lady reporter is still smiling and behaving normal !! seriously 😑!!!???
Maybe he liked her and wanted to ask her out for a drink. Spaniard men are friendly and affectionate so he was just being nice and she is nice and cute. They look good together. Also, he didn’t touch her bottom. He just touched her lower back as saying hi.
Get your eyes examined
He could have used his words, and asked her out. Clearly Spaniard men have been put on notice since the women’s World Cup fiasco that this culture does not welcome that behaviour from men. As charming as a man can be, ask yourself, am I really reading the room and am I sure I know what she is thinking?? You might be surprised as a man when you pause and ask this question.
@Mark Tomson She wasn’t thinking of HIM. That’s the whole point. She was WORKING. “Reading the room” means if you see a person working, wait until they are done working before approaching them.
@Mark Tomson He was inappropriate but he didn’t commit a crime.
Not worth being arrested for, she has a cute face but her booty is flat
Be a different story if it was the other way round
What an a******
gentlemen, keep your hands to
yourself
reporter expression prove she enjoy this,
And her dress up also encourage this man.
A woman’s choice of dress is not an indication of her invitation for sexual acts
Women get raped in conservatively dressed environments and cultures all the time.
She did not invite this man. She didn’t look like she enjoyed it. But maybe you need to ask why you think so? And think about who you might be and how you may want to improve your behaviour
@Mark Tomson You said girls dress up isn’t inviting a man, well so, which reason a woman wear short dress?? Can you explain this?
I hope this pervert stays in jail. Wonder what happened to him after the arrest
Nicely staged!
She is trying to play victim, when in fact she probably enjoyed it 😂😂
That is a common misunderstanding by men. I saw the footage and there is nothing that I saw that look like she enjoyed it. So it’s a very wild card guess. Maybe ask her or other women who have been in that situation if they enjoyed it. Or perhaps read up about a thing called theory of mind, the ability to put yourselves in someone else’s mind. It’s a part of mature thinking that requires a person to be authentically empathetic
I’m gonna say, no, she didn’t enjoy it. If it happened to your partner, mother, sister, niece, daughter, would you say the same thing?
@Mark Tomson women are known liars.. look at all the gold diggers claiming they were raped 20, 30 years ago, only to come out now, accusing rich celebrities of this and that, trying to get millions of dollars off them . Isn’t it obvious? This woman clearly enjoyed it.. she loved the attention she got, most likely a drama queen – that booty touch was probably the most action she got all year. Don’t be simp, man.
@WrestleMania this won’t happen in america because American people are gaysss
thanks for arrested him
مه نبودم اونو بود
Dumb stupid fool wanted to be on national tv so there you go be the news know idiot and take those charges as a gift as well. .
People criticize women for smiling and being polite after being harassed. But it’s a reflex because it feels dangerous to escalate the situation or anger the man sometimes, and you just want the moment to be over.
Because like people said. Men bigger, taller, more power physically.
Bro, the amount murder case I read at the news at my country this months is a lot.
Good he got arrested
This the western modern society 😀
Happy that he was arrested. It is a sexual harassment and assault.
Salute to the anchor
Imagine if this has happened in India 🇮🇳 what would had been the reaction ?
It’s possible that he’s a mentally ill person.
This is the freedom of toching shameless socity of westerned world
There a a million shameless acts in non western countries too
That is not sexually assault that be grouped. Sorry it’s bad not saying not but not sexually. Dude is weird
Good job by All in the arrest of this despicable individual
This is sexual assault, what Luis did was not. Huge difference.
It’s Sexual assault ,not sexism. Jezz Here we go again, a literal western human rights agenda.
I guess, if what he did was sexual assault, her touching his back and chest second after was sexual self-defense or maybe sexual counter-attack.
Like when you get punched and punch back
30 to 40 years ago groping and pinching was tolerated in Spain and Italy . Usually old men did it to young women , especially young female tourists
She consented by wearing a tight dress. She is telling men I am ovulating and I need u .should of worn a sweatshirt and sweat pants
@Mynipplesmychoice rubbish . fact is women dress in whatever the fashion is, no matter how sexy it looks. they aren’t concerned about that . They also dress to get compliments from other women . Women . They don’t dress in a sexy outfit in a mans eyes to get fondled and groped by men without their verbal consent
I can’t believe if someone can be that stupid in real life, it seems for me to be staged
Modern civilization, shame
I don’t know Rick, it looks fake! It’s 100% staged, don’t fall on this media trap.
Your comment is fake 😂😂
And Google Says Spain is safest country for females……….. 😅😅
Sexual assault might be a bit of a strong accusation. Simple battery is more like it.
The men need to take care of him. The fact that he had the balls to do the so brazenly.
It seemed like he knew her n was just being immature. Seem like they got that type of relationship.
But a woman can grab a man and nothing is made of it! I know the left thinks gender is a social construct but that’s a lie. This is a double standard that needs to be addressed. A woman in the streets could grab me much more than that touch and it would be all smiles
Have experience? You can go to police
She consented by wearing a tight dress. She is telling Ken I am ovulating and I need u so bad. should of worn a sweatshirt and sweat pants
Yet woman do this all the time and never face the consequences. There’s a massive double standard.
Not true. The laws are there. Men can use them also. It is not a double standard but men are by an avalanche much much much more likely to be the perpetrators
If you touched like that woman. go to police
She consented by wearing a tight dress. She is telling Ken I am ovulating and I need u .should of worn a sweatshirt and sweat pants
Dam he deff deserves what he got
Dirty SICK PERVERT in a SICK NUDE SOCIETY of today
찐따쉑
I hear of these behaviours occurring to the women in my life. As a man, I am disgusted by the men who do these things. They think that women who smile at them must want them sexually. Men can often misinterpret what women are thinking. Men will also infringe on boundaries without any invitation like this dumb fella. I think women must regularly make a noise or complain or involve police or authorities until we get it. Boundaries my fellow man, B.O.U.N.D.A.R.I.E.S.!!!
Women are not going around asking for this type of contact and if they have made it very clear that they do want that contact or indeed that attention, absolutely make sure this is the case. Don’t assume, before you fume.
Teach him a lesson .bustardo need to stay behind the bar
He could have been more respected if he was honest. What’s the worse that could happen with that.
It wasn’t right of the anchor to force her to confront him live on air though.
What view of women does that man have? He has no respect for women at all. Women should be able to stand and talk on a sidewalk without being molested by a man.
She liked it
He did it on camera and still tried to deny it. What a clown. Grow Up
어휴 병신새끼 남자의 수치다
Korean people are gayss
The man in the video is reported to be Romanian.
@Lionel Messi You are quite ignorant my friend, stop making yourself look stupid.
He have no right to touch her without her consent. He should be punished
Ah yes “gentlemen” of civilized nations
Totally unacceptable and disrespectful behaviour, topped by an attitude of entitlement.
The thing that was so repulsive was how he came back and touched the top of her head like taunting her
This guy is dangerous; if he does this in public, it is anybody’s guess what he does to unsuspecting victims in private.
Disgusting behavior
Women are the most vulnerable in every society. There should be stiff penalties for these kind of behavior
The reporter didn’t have problem with it initially unless she was asked about it
