Man streams assaultive behavior live
According to police in Mainz, a young woman has been sexually harassed and insulted for racist reasons. The alleged perpetrator is said to have live-streamed and commented on the assault on a social media platform, as the police announced on Friday.
The incident took place last Friday evening. According to the police, they were initially alerted that a young man was shouting and insulting other people in the city center of Mainz. At the scene, a young woman then reported serious racist insults and sexual harassment "due to her origin from Afghanistan" by a 23-year-old. According to the police, the man allegedly pulled down his trousers, among other things.
According to the information provided, the accused live-streamed the entire situation and the police check. The police searched the man and confiscated his cell phone. He is now being investigated for insult, sexual harassment and publishing the pictures of the 24-year-old woman, it was reported.
The incident of racist insults and sexual harassment was not only committed but also live-streamed and publicly commented on, adding a disturbing layer of unearned attention to the crime. Regrettably, the perpetrator's actions were fueled by both racist beliefs and a profound disregard for others' dignity.
