In Cologne, reporter groped while covering Carnival on live television

2016-06-29 8

The city of Cologne, Germany, fell back into the spotlight of sexual assault this week, when its annual street Carnival kicked off.

A woman reporting from the city center for a Belgian broadcaster was groped live on television, and police are searching for a suspect.

The city has been on high alert for sexual assault after hundreds of woman filed criminal complaints of having been groped on New Year's Eve by men described as being of North African or Arabic origin. A handful of the complaints alleged rape.

But Thursday's incident during a celebration called Women's Carnival does not appear to be related. The men taunting Esmeralda Labye in the lead-up to the harassment appear to be of European origin.

"I'd like to emphasize, and this seems important me, that the incident has been caused by young men speaking German," she said.
