In spite of countless people sloganeering about women’s safety, there are still a lot of women who continue to be molested and sexually assaulted on a daily basis. So was Krystal Olsen from New York. But instead of shrivelling up in fear, Olsten did something that has not just made her an overnight Internet celebrity, but also an inspiration for men and women around the world. Not only did she drag guy who groped her derrière out and get him arrested, but also shared his picture on Twitter, teaching him a lesson HE WILL NEVER FORGET.
Posting his picture on Twitter, she wrote — “This guy grabbed my ass, I dragged him out in a chokehold, he slammed me into a wall. And is crying like a b*tch when he got arrested.” The tweet went viral in no time and there were people from everywhere writing to Olsten, who was reportedly bartending in New York, at the time of this incident.
Check out some of the reactions her post garnered on Twitter.
The best part is that you literally stood there taking this photo of him. So priceless. 🙌🏻

I have a hard time agreeing that’s an assault

Which got a prompt reply.
Groping someone without consent is literally the definition of sexual assault.

Even as there were people who were lauding her for her presence of mind and her courage to stand up to him, it was shocking that many men thought she was exaggerating and “over-reacting”. Though these men were promptly schooled in response by other people, as Brianna Wu, a Twitter user rightly observed — “It’s beyond disturbing to me that so many Guys do not understand what sexual assault is.”
