TELEVISION reporter Julieth Gonzalez Theran, who was groped and kissed by a man while broadcasting from the World Cup, said today that she will not let him “take away” her dream.

Julieth Gonzalez Theran was reporting from Saransk, 400 miles east of Moscow, when the bearded man comes from the right of the shot, gropes her and kisses her on the cheek.

The journalist, who did not pause her piece to camera during or after the incident, was working for the Spanish news channel of German network Deutsche Welle (DW).
