A 21-year-old girl caught the moment she was the victim of sexual harassment on a bus in São Paulo, Brazil.
The woman was on her way to work this Wednesday morning, when everything happened. According to a complaint lodged at the police, cited by the G1 website, Ingrid Calomino, sat in the penultimate row of seats on the bus when he entered. Behind was an elderly man and there were other people in the transport. At some point during the trip, the woman felt a hand in her hair and, a few minutes later, on her back.
“He put his hand on the side of my body, but came forward and started to touch my breast. I was very nervous, I took out my phone and started recording,” she said.
In the images captured by Ingrid, it is possible to see the man, behind her back, caressing her. When he realizes that he is being filmed, the man steps back and walks away.
After what happened, Ingrid says that she got up and started to argue with the stranger.
“I felt like nothing. How does a person I don’t even know touch me that way? I was insecure and nervous. It was terrifying,” she said. “There were more people on the bus, but nobody supported me. I said that he was a harasser, that he had recorded it. He started saying that he was only supporting his hand. But, it touched my breast,” he added.
The woman got off the bus and went to work very affected, after which she was helped.
The case was registered by the authorities as sexual harassment and is being investigated.
On social media, the images were widely shared, with many used to express their indignation.
