When it comes to sexual assault, most assume that it only happens to women, but did you know that men can also be victims of such disturbing behaviour too?
A local influencer name Noicnico recently took to his Instagram account detailing multiple instances of him being sexually assaulted in a span of a week, something which left him deeply shaken.
M’sian influencer shares how he was sexually assaulted
In the Instagram post, Noicnico shared that he was approached by a stranger who recognised him while working at AniManGaki.
Suddenly without warning, the man wrapped his arms around him while he was filming content and pulled him close.
His face was really close to mine where I could feel his breathing.”
“I didn’t think much about this encounter as I had to continue working, but it really made me feel weirded out,” he recounted.
In the second encounter, Noicnico encountered a fan he recognised but wasn’t friends with after finishing his class and out of the blue, the man rubbed his belly.
While he felt uncomfortable, Noicnico wrote didn’t know how to react at the time. Days later, the same man tried to touch his belly again. This time, Noicnico was quick to react and slapped the man’s hand away while telling him, ‘Don’t touch me.’
Unfortunately, the nightmare didn’t come to an end as Noicnico once again found himself being touched inappropriately, this time by a girl.
According to the post, Noicnico said he was ‘roasting’ the female interviewee when she suddenly reached out and pinched his nipples, which both shocked and hurt him.
I had to pretend and fake my reaction because at the moment, I wasn’t thinking straight. I was focused on filming for my job and I didn’t react as I should have,” he admitted.
Following the three encounters, Noicnico wrote that he made a video to create awareness but was undecided on whether to make it public or not. And just when he thought he was finally free from the nightmare, it proved to be the opposite.
“The guy who rubbed my belly touched me again by surprise at a campus flea market before vanishing.
“That proved to be last straw. I posted the video but got minimal response, which made me feel alone and unheard,” he lamented, adding that he later took the video down due to fear of repercussions.
Final thoughts on incident
Speaking to WeirdKaya, Noicnico said looking back, he would have opted to personally advise those who touched him appropriately to not do it again in the future instead of exposing them publicly.
“I don’t think they meant it to be sexual or anything and exposing them wouldn’t be right on my part. I don’t want to ruin someone’s life for that. I just hope they learn.
“While I’m fine for the time being, I’ve been through a mental breakdown for the past few days as the incident triggered my childhood trauma and I had to be alone for a while,” he added.
