Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum has said she will press charges against a man who groped her during a public appearance.

Mobile phone footage of the incident on Tuesday shows Sheinbaum speaking to a group of supporters on a street near the National Palace in Mexico City. A man approaches her from behind and attempts to kiss her on the neck and place his hands on her body.

“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 at a news conference on Wednesday.

    What is it exactly that you think I agreed with?

    And yes, son, we’re all aware of how the post history works. Stop posting pictures and be specific. Your credibility is zero with me and I’m not going to strain to pull your point out of a screenshot.

    And suggesting she staged her own sexual assault is not holding a leader’s actions to a higher degree of scrutiny. It’s a disgusting accusation in a long tradition of discrediting female victims.
