    Between this and the soccer event, I feel like the Spanish authorities will want to make things especially difficult for this guy. If for no other reason than to appear to the world that they are not a sexist country.

      No, I don’t think so. Spanish authorities are usually not moved by media circuses like this and don’t have to prove anything to the world. Things like this happen all the time everywhere, just google ‘guy kisses reporter’ or similar. It’s not a Spanish thing. And regarding Spain I found similar case from couple years ago where a guy kissed a reported and was sentenced to a fine. They didn’t need World Cup shit storm to apply the law back then and they will simply apply the law in this case.

        I don’t follow Spanish media, but it seemed like this article/video made a point of showing the guy in handcuffs. That appears like someone is trying to make point.

        Edit: Actually, I don’t see the video in this article, but there was a video that showed the groping event and then ended with the guy in handcuffs, being escorted by Spanish police.

        The video was linked in a different post: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/9/14/spanish-police-arrest-man-for-groping-reporter-isa-balado-while-live-on-air?traffic_source=rss

          They showed the guy in handcuffs because he was arrested. What’s your point? I said he will be convicted, just not because of the extra media attention this is getting now.

            My point is that the media is drawing extra attention to his arrest - as a direct result of what happened. As opposed to any other guy that might get arrested for groping and nothing is mentioned about it.
