The incident occurred at Comic Con Paris.
This weekend, journalist Rémi Perrot was covering the Paris branch of Comic Con for French TV station BFM TV.

At the event, Perrot was filmed groping a cosplayer dressed as Guild Wars character Firestorm. Perrot was heard commenting, "You're cute."

Perrot's actions have been met with criticism from members of the cosplay community.
We strongly condemn what renowned French journalist Rémi Perrot did on BFMTV in the French Comic Con documentary: Slapping a cosplayer's butt followed by a classy, "You're a pretty one, you know."
Would he have done the same thing at a carnival or a Halloween-like party?
It is dangerous to have people think that you can touch or so whatever you want with cosplayers.
Remember people, cosplay is not consent.
