A very large part of me believes this was a complete attention grab by CBC. If they really felt that a "sexual assault" such as this was a threat to their reporters safety, there should have been several control measures put in place well before. It's nothing new for anyone to think that people act like delta bravos in front of a camera, so why wasn't there any administrative controls (such as mandating there to be a security guard for the reporter while in public) in place for such an incident. Yes the kid was stupid, but safety protocols should be put in place to mitigate the strugglers.
