  • TV Mariló Montero denounces having suffered a sexual assault in an act: "He does it to me in private and I hit him in the mouth and left him without teeth"

Last Friday,

Mariló Montero

, a collaborator of

Espejo Público

, made headlines again by denouncing during

Susanna Griso

's program that no more than a week ago, during a public event, a "very famous uncle" had touched the ass.

The presenter, now a collaborator of

Espejo Público

, told what happened during one of the blocks of the program dedicated to the sexual harassment suffered by women.

Mariló Montero

did not hesitate to report that "there is still a lot of nonsense that gets their hands on you" and acknowledged that she did not react violently at the time so as not to create a "public schism": "What do I do? Should I give him a damn at that moment I have the premise that I am not with married guys, but many come in.

What I get is to slap him right there, but I also have to think about the schism that is created publicly

, because I am at a public event. "He does that to me in private and I give him a shit that leaves him toothless."

After recounting the moment he experienced, the newspapers echoed his statements, describing what happened as "sexual assault."

This morning

Mariló Montero

denied it, which caused

Gonzalo Miró

, another of the program's collaborators, to confront her completely indignant.

"I have not filed a complaint because there has been no sexual assault and, since there has been no sexual assault, I have not filed a complaint

," said the collaborator.

According to

Montero

, a sexual assault "is unwanted sexual behavior with acts that use intimidation" and her case was not like that.

Mariló Montero confirmed that she had indeed touched her ass, but she has denied that the "very famous uncle" intimidated her, coerced her or used her force.

In this sense,

Mariló Montero

has then focused on the law of only yes means yes, since for the collaborator what this law has done is "resignify words."

"That is defined by the law of just yes, yes, but I don't define it. That doesn't mean that I have looked for it. It is not a sexual assault.

I am not going to report a person because he grabbed my ass

," he said.

affirmed.

It was then that

Gonzalo Miró

confronted Montero, pointing out that this does not mean that he did not suffer sexual assault:

"Nowadays he is, it is another matter that you do not want to report it

. "

It is then that lawyer

Montse Suárez

, also a collaborator of

Espejo Público,

explained that "the law of yes means yes modifies certain articles of the Penal Code and, therefore,

"The touching of Mariló Montero's butt is clearly and unquestionably an act of sexual assault."

"Now, I understand

Mariló

," he continued.

"I understand that she does not interpret it that way and that her offense is not sexual assault," he stated.

Mariló Montero

was against the lawyer's explanation and then asked if it was the norm to put a guy in jail. because he touches your ass: "

Are you going to put a guy in jail because he puts his hand on your ass?

"It's just to analyze it."

The debate has continued and it was

Gonzalo Miró

who wanted to close it, leaving a very clear note to the viewers and to

Mariló Montero

herself : "Let the public know that if a man or woman's ass is touched without their consent, They can report it because it is a crime."
