NFL player suing over sexual assault on plane
According to a lawsuit filed Monday, an NFL player and another passenger made four complaints to flight attendants that a woman allegedly was making "unwanted sexual advances" before she was moved to a different seat.
An unnamed NFL player is suing United Airlines, alleging he was sexually harassed, assaulted and violated by a female passenger on a February flight from Los Angeles to Newark, New Jersey, and that the airline failed to properly respond to complaints.
The civil suit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, seeks unspecified statutory and punitive damages from the airline.
According to the lawsuit, the player and another passenger in the same row made four complaints to flight attendants that the woman allegedly was making "unwanted sexual advances" before she was moved to a different seat.
The two men are suing United, the lawsuit says, because the airline refused to give them the name of the woman, the flight attendants and potential witnesses and because the airline failed to follow policies to respond to sexual harassment and assault on the Feb. 10 flight.
