A court in Malta has been hearing evidence of persistent sexual harrassment in the national orchestra.

Its chief executive, Sigmund Mifsud, has now been released on bail whle facing charges of suppressing evidence.

From the latest court report:

The young woman said her ordeal started one week into her new job at the orchestra.

A male colleague would follow her around, slapping her bottom and massaging her neck even though she made it clear that such advances were not welcome.

On one occasion, he even pulled up her top, revealing her bra.

He also sent her sexually-explicit videos and messages on her phone. Messages included a video of a woman stripping naked and a meme featuring a naked figure with the caption “big bum”…

    This is Malta under the notorious Labour Party of Dom Mintoff fame! This ‘party’ got worse as time went by!

    Under the Malta Labour Party, Malta becomes a magnet for dodginess and a thriving place for the incompetent and the imbecilic who are often promoted to top government positions!

    By professional standards, Sigmund Mifsud is a high level amateur, if that! The Malta Labour Party made him a prince in the local culture world. This is the result!
