4th of July stalking & sexual harassment
Location: 14th and H Street NW (Penn Quarter)
Time: Daytime (9:30am-3:30pm)
Two men turned and followed me down the street (which was pretty busy with July 4th Activities) commenting on my boobs. This went on for a couple blocks. They only stopped when I purposefully walked towards some policemen.
