Broadcasting from the World Cup in Moscow, a Colombian journalist is interrupted very intrusively by a football fan.

Julieth Gonzalez Theran was commenting on the World Cup from one of the fan zones in Moscow. The Colombian journalist then powered through, showing no reaction at all as she was sexually harassed in front of the camera. While she was live, a fan came out of nowhere and kissed her on the cheek, grabbing her chest as he went.

This sexist gesture was immediately condemned by people on social networks and the television channel DW. Their spokesperson said: 'We will reinforce our security, it's not a kiss, it's a non-consensual attack'.

The journalist, the victim of this attack, also wanted to share her opinion on her Instagram account: 'We do not deserve this treatment. I share the joy of football, but we need to draw the line between affection and harassment.'

Julieth continues to cover the event in Moscow, with the support of her channel and public opinion.
