Also means
to disturb
Usage Note
Molestar is a false friend for English speakers: it does NOT mean 'to molest' in the sexual sense; that would be abusar sexualmente de. Molestar simply means to annoy or disturb. ¿Le molesta si...? is the polite 'Do you mind if...?' formula.
Examples
"Por favor, no me molestes ahora."
Natural Translation
Please, don't bother me now.
