""No man has the right to violate that space," she said. "My view is, if I don't file a complaint, what will happen to other Mexican women? If they do this to the president, what will happen to all women in our country?" Sheinbaum said. "I decided to press charges because this is something that I experienced as a woman, but that we as women experience in our country," she said. "I have experienced it before, when I wasn't president, when I was a student.""
""This person approached me completely drunk, I don't know if he was on drugs," the president said on Wednesday morning. "It wasn't until I saw the videos that I realized what had really happened.""
Claudia Sheinbaum filed a criminal complaint after a man groped and tried to kiss her while she was walking near the presidential palace in Mexico City. The man approached from behind, put his arm around her shoulder, touched her chest and hip, and attempted to kiss her before security intervened and removed him. The man appeared intoxicated and was arrested by Mexico City authorities. Sheinbaum pressed charges after learning the man continued to harass other women. Sheinbaum framed the complaint as a response to widespread sexual harassment and cited personal experience of similar incidents before holding public office.
