A man who groped a television reporter’s buttocks live this Tuesday (12), in Spain, was arrested shortly after the act, police reported. The arrest comes shortly after the non-consensual kiss controversy of the president of the Spanish Football Federation in a player.
“Arrested for sexually assaulting a reporter while she was on live television,” the Spanish National Police reported on the social network X (formerly Twitter), along with a video of the arrest.
Due to a recent reform in the Spanish Penal Code, all sexual abuse can be considered sexual assault, a criminal type that groups all types of sexual violence.

The young man stands next to her, disturbing her, and a presenter of the program asks the reporter in disbelief: “Did he just touch your butt?”
“Yes”, she replies, before going to the young man: “As much as you want to ask us what channel we are from, do you really need to touch my butt?” The young man denies having done so, but before leaving he caresses his journalist’s hair.
“In a society that we want to be better, this cannot happen, and this feeling of impunity cannot exist. This is a lack of respect, and I hope that the full weight of the law falls on him,” said the program’s host, Diego Losada, according to the Cuatro website.
Acting Equality Minister Irene Montero wrote in X: “Non-consensual touching is sexual violence, and we say no more impunity.”
This episode comes shortly after the resignation of the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, for kissing player Jenni Hermoso on the mouth moments after Spain’s victory in the Women’s World Cup in Australia.
The kiss, which the player said was not consensual, caused a national and international commotion and led to the resignation of Rubiales, who will also have to answer about the episode before a judge on Friday (15).
