Reporter Doing Sexual Harassment Story Gets Sexually Harassed
A British reporter doing a segment on sexual harassment proved her point in spades.
Sarah Teale was doing a report on sexual harassment for the BBC when someone on the street made some obscene remarks to her while the camera was rolling.
In the clip, Teale says:
An online study showed that a shocking 95% of people said they had been harassed, jeered at, or had obscenities shouted at them in the street and a large proportion said they'd also been groped or grabbed inappropriately in public."
Shortly after that, a man makes his disparaging remark, which is bleeped out. Teale then says, "Yeah, like that."

Teale was genuinely disturbed by the incident. "It's not banter, it's not funny and no-one should have to put up with it," she said.
