MEXICO CITY. After the initial media scandal surrounding the lack of response from authorities to journalist Andrea Noel's sexual harassment case, and the inexplicable backlash against her in social media, it has been other reporters and the victim herself who have produced the most results with their inquiries into what happened.
Harassing a woman, usually in a dress or skirt in order to pull down their underpants or simply recording them without their noticing, all is part of a practice known as sharking, or more specifically 'japanese sharking', labels that allow hundreds of thousands of users in pornographic websites to access this kind of material.
Speaking with Mexican news outlet El Universal, who investigated the case, Andrea Noel confirmed that she suspects her attack was done with the purpose of showing her images on a pornographic site. So far, she claims the video is not on any known website of this kind.
A second journalist, this time affiliated to the Televisión Mexiquense network, was identified in one such site, under a title that mentioned her name and the place of the assault: Tolucas book fair.
Twitters registry of the #sharking hashtag allowed El Universal to identify both victims and pimps, who upload these videos depicting sexual harassment and abuse, especially in Mexicos Citys public restrooms and dressing rooms.
Noel explains that the federal authorities are supposed to be in charge of these kinds of aggression, but has received no word from them regarding her case. Among the sites dedicated to this type of content, Voyeur Azteca was identified, of which the investigative team exposed a content analysis.
