Overview
- Mexico City authorities detained Uriel Rivera Martínez, who was later referred to the sexual crimes prosecutor after reports he had harassed other women in the same area.
- Claudia Sheinbaum submitted a written complaint to the Mexico City prosecutor’s office, saying she acted to encourage other women to report abuse.
- The president directed a review to ensure harassment is a criminal offense across all states and announced a nationwide awareness campaign.
- Video of the encounter and what witnesses called a delayed response by an aide have intensified scrutiny of the president’s protective detail.
- Sheinbaum condemned the publication of photos as revictimization and sought an apology from Reforma, as businessman Ricardo Salinas Pliego alleged without evidence that the episode was staged.
