4th of July stalking & sexual harassment

Jul 11, 2012 | Posted by User Submission |

Kind of hard to enjoy the fireworks when you’re being sexually harassed…

Location: 14th and H Street NW (Penn Quarter)

Time: Daytime (9:30am-3:30pm)

Two men turned and followed me down the street (which was pretty busy with July 4th Activities) commenting on my boobs. This went on for a couple blocks. They only stopped when I purposefully walked towards some policemen.
