Natalie McCullagh, Aged 22
I worked at a bar and girls (never the lads) would sometimes be asked to go out and sell jagerbombs to customers on the floor. Most of the younger girls didn’t like to do it due to the creepy men making comments or touching them. I offered to take it on as felt like I can handle a few jerks being sleezy, and usually I could. The last time I did the job a man walked right up to me and before I could react he put his hand right down my top and squeezed my breast and walked back to his mates for high fives. I was enraged and went ovover with the doormen to have them all removed and his defence was that he was on his stag do and he had to do it on a dare. I remember saying I wonder if your future wife knows you are the type to sexually assault a stranger on a dare. They couldn’t understand that what they did was wrong. They even tried to defend what they did and claimed calling it sexual assault was a bit extreme… Me now would have had him arrested and charged but at the time I wasn’t aware I could do more than have them kicked out.
