Yahoo News World Cup reporter sexually harassed on live TV by fan
A female journalist has spoken out to demand respect after she was groped in the middle of a report from the World Cup in Russia.
Julieth González Therán was broadcasting for Deutsche Welle's Spanish news channel when a football supporter grabbed her breast and kissed her cheek during the coverage.
A post shared by Julieth Therán (@juliethgonzaleztheran) on Jun 15, 2018 at 8:20am PDT
Julieth was a total professional and carried on with her report without so much as a flinch, but later uploaded a clip of the incident to Instagram along with an important message.
A translation reads: "RESPECT! We do not deserve this treatment. We are equally as professional and deserving."
Julieth continued: "I share the joy of football but we must identify the limits between affection and harassment."

In more uplifting news, fans of both Senegal and Japan have showed the correct way to support a football team after they stayed behind to tidy up the stadium following their matches.
Senegal became the first African side to win at this year's World Cup in a surprise victory over Poland on Tuesday (June 19), but celebrated with a bit of clearing up instead.

Some of Japan's supporters also stayed to tidy up the Mordovia Arena in Saransk after their win against Colombia, picking up rubbish that had been left behind under seats.
We wonder if England fans will do the same when they take on Panama this Sunday...
