The rumormonger sniffed out the traffic, and the elderly mall molested women? The police have intervened
Today, a hot search in the same city of Shanghai brought up the topic of "suspected use of lower body to support a woman's buttocks in a shopping mall". According to the content posted on the Blue V account "Owl Video" by the topic host, "On September 11th, an elderly man in Shanghai was suspected of using his lower body to bump into the buttocks of a young woman in front of him in a shopping mall, touching her skirt with his hand and looking back. The woman hugged the child but did not notice." The 13 second video content specially amplified the man's inappropriate behavior. Many netizens in the comment section left follow-up messages asking if the man was caught in a timely manner. However, some netizens left comments stating that the incident did not occur in Shanghai, but in a shopping mall in Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. The old man has been arrested, and the video was filmed by a local netizen.
Details of hot search topic releases.

To this end, the Shanghai debunking platform launched an investigation. From the video content, there are no details indicating that the incident occurred in Shanghai. However, based on the clues provided by netizens in their comments, and comparing with multiple promotional images recently posted by Daxin Xinduhui in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province on social media platforms, it can be preliminarily confirmed that the video was shot in the activity area located in the atrium of the mall, based on details such as the color and style of the guardrails inside the mall, large doll installations, and floor bricks.
The left image shows the online video content, and the right image shows the external promotional video content of the shopping mall. There are multiple similarities, which are inferred to be near the incident location.

A reporter from the Shanghai debunking platform called the external contact number of Daxin Xinduhui. The mall manager told reporters that the online video did indeed take place inside the mall. The incident occurred around 8 or 9 pm on September 10th, not September 11th. The victim woman discovered the man's behavior and voluntarily reported it to the police. Afterwards, the police rushed to capture and take the man away. The mall is not familiar with other details and processes.
It can be seen that the online incident did not occur in Shanghai. But "Owl Video" used the name "Shanghai" to create buzz on social media without verification. This approach not only violates the principle of truth, but is also suspected of intentionally using "Shanghai" to attract attention and create traffic, which is unacceptable.

Of course, for sexual harassment, no matter where it occurs, it should be severely cracked down on and firmly said "no". The Shanghai debunking platform reminds that if encountering sexual harassment, the parties involved should not remain silent and should actively seek help from those around them or public entities, collect evidence, and proactively report to the police.
It is understandable for netizens to encourage the public to say "no" to sexual harassment through online videos, but attention should be paid to protecting the privacy of the parties involved, and it is even more important not to use related events as traffic passwords to spread rumors.
