PRI Deputy Tania Larios has reported a man for sexual harassment, leading to his detention by authorities in Mexico City.
Tania Larios, a deputy from the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in Mexico City, has taken legal action against a man identified as Erick 'N' for allegedly sexually harassing her. The incident occurred near the alternate offices of the Congress of Mexico City, where the legislator reported the harassment to authorities. This report was made public by journalist Carlos Jiménez, who detailed the circumstances surrounding the case, emphasizing the importance of addressing harassment against public officials.
Following the report, police from the Mexico City Secretariat of Citizen Security apprehended the accused, ensuring a quick response to the allegation. Erick 'N' has been taken to the specialized prosecutor’s office for sexual crimes, where his legal status will be assessed. This incident has raised attention to the issue of violence against women in Mexico, highlighting the challenges faced by women in politics and their need for protection in their professional environments.
The case not only underscores the ongoing struggle against gender-based violence in Mexico but also prompts broader discussions about the accountability of those who exploit their power against vulnerable individuals, especially women in public positions.
