A man in Ohio was filmed apparently licking a woman’s backside while she stood at a service counter, seemingly unaware of what had happened, according to a video shared on Instagram. The clip looks to have been recorded by a security camera and was later posted by Instagram user @titan.carter. The video appears to show the man, dressed in a white t-shirt and a bandana, standing at a counter that resembles a bank service desk. A woman wearing a patterned blouse stood beside him, mostly facing away, holding a dark tumbler. According to the footage, the man first handed a small stack of papers or cards to a staff member behind the counter. He then appeared to bend down as if tying his shoes before extending his head toward the woman and appearing to lick her right glute area. The woman apparently did not react and continued drinking from her tumbler. The post draws thousands of comments condemning the behavior The Instagram post, captioned with hashtags including “#awareness” and “#workplaceharassment,” was shared by @titan.carter. In the caption, the user wrote, “I believe that EVERY WOMAN deserves to feel SAFE! The fact that he was gonna try and touch her first, then thought about it, but couldn’t control the urge to contact is pathetic and disgusting!” Man caught on video licking unsuspecting woman’s cheeks in broad daylight at service counter in Ohio. byu/ElwoodMC intrashy The post has since drawn thousands of comments. One user wrote, “Why??? Just why?” Another user commented, “This is my ‘why’ single is a much better choice!!!!!” Not all commenters agreed with that framing. A user replied, “This is not about single or taken,” while another wrote, “Huh? Pretty sure that dude wasn’t her boyfriend.” Similar stories, like elderly neighbors’ creepy behavior, have sparked online debate, with diverse deductions. Other commenters focused on the nature of the act itself. One user wrote, “I believe people are in need of mental help.” Replying to that comment one wrote, “He certainly is!” and another added, “very much so.” A user commented, “Yet no one never believes us this is disgusting.” Responding to that comment, a user wrote that people need to stay aware of their surroundings at all times, adding that letting one’s guard down could leave someone vulnerable to “someone like this ready to eat it like groceries.” Some commenters addressed the topic of victim-blaming directly. One user wrote, “No one can use the excuse of saying that she was dressed provocatively. There’s always excuses for women being violated.” Another questioned the sentiment, adding that Even if she was dressed in a way that some might label provocative, “he doesn’t give him the right to behave that way.” After the alleged act, the man in the video is seen pulling back quickly, placing an item in his pocket, and appearing to try to act normally. Sadly, occurrences of such unsettling behavior have been reported in other public settings as well, like a Dallas woman who noticed a man circling her at Target. The identities of the man and woman shown in the video have not been publicly confirmed. It is not clear from the available footage or the Instagram post whether the incident was reported to police or to the business where it reportedly occurred. The exact location of the service counter shown in the video has not been specified beyond the claim that the incident occurred in Ohio, per a Reddit post. This report is based on video footage shared on Instagram by user @titan.carter. Additional details, including confirmation from law enforcement or the individuals involved, have not been confirmed.
