Amateur cyclist gives terrifying testimony of sexual harassment while training

A true nightmare was what one experienced Colombian amateur cyclistwho on social networks reported that she was the victim of a sexual harasser, while she was training on her bicycle.

His name is Lorraine Arce, a cyclist who usually shares content about her sports practice on networks.

In one of her recent videos, Lorena narrated what she experienced and the danger to which she was exposed when she was the victim of a sexual harasser.

Crude story

The cyclist begins her story by saying: “How sad it is to want to go out and ride a bike and not be able to do it because of fear.”

“A few days ago I was a victim of harassment in the middle of a bicycle route, I was alone as I normally do. This guy comes out on a motorcycle and asks me if I am alone, I tell him no. He looks at me with morbidity, a disgusting look “He left on the motorcycle. It was a rural area, I was in the middle of two climbs, I couldn't go any faster. Later, this disgusting man was masturbating and saying obscene things,” he said.

Then he continued narrating. “What I do is start praying, 'God help me, what do I do'… My fear is that he would have a gun and go into the mountains where no one would find me.”

“Later on the guy catches up with me on the motorcycle and tries to touch me, I try to defend myself… I found some soldiers who helped me, they didn't find him, they accompanied me to a safe place. It's the first time I've experienced something like this on the bike “.

His final reflection was to denounce these types of acts. “If we make a video or report it, they take it as exaggerated, they invalidate the situation. Or they say why she was riding alone or how she was dressed. The abuse has no justification. It makes me angry that this goes unpunished…”

Finally, although she usually does her sports alone, she recommended that women not do it, out of fear.

On social networks the cyclist has received numerous comments of solidarity with what happened to her. Many women express in her comments their fear of going out to play sports precisely because of these types of events.
