Woman Sues American Airlines for X-Rated Incident
Lawsuit: Staff Did Not Help Woman After Man Ejaculated On Her
HOUSTON -- A 21-year-old Harris County woman filed a lawsuit against American Airlines Monday, alleging her trip to visit family and friends in Los Angeles last spring break turned X-rated.
The $200,000 suit claims a passenger masturbated in the seat next to Centava Dozier on a flight from DFW International Airport to Los Angeles during Dozier's spring break in 2007.
Dozier said she was sitting on an unoccupied row of the plane when it took off and fell asleep. When she woke up, she found a stuck substance in her hair and a man masturbating in the seat next to her.
In the lawsuit, Dozier said she asked airline workers for help and asked that the man, who was not sitting in his assigned seat, be removed, but did not receive any help from the staff aboard the plane.
Officials with American Airlines have maintained that their employees took appropriate action.
The man was arrested when the plane landed.

The guy probably claimed it was hair gel.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I think he was pulling something else.PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:Ewwwwww!
If she had made more of a fuss on the plane, she would have probably been arrested. I would have made a huge scene if somebody had pulled that kind of crap near me.

The news article left out the part where the airline did anything to cause the passenger harm, whatever the heck that might be.marrymeflyfree wrote:Woman Sues American Airlines for X-Rated Incident

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Unless she's Lady Godiva, he couldn't have been very discreet if he managed to glom up her hair, so somebody had to notice something. I would assume that this would be considered assault (isn't spitting considered an assault? Or is that battery?), so the airline could have prevented it, like by simply saying, 'hey, dude, zip it or grab a lap blanket', but didn't.themanintheseersuckersuit wrote:The news article left out the part where the airline did anything to cause the passenger harm, whatever the heck that might be.
Even worse, in my mind, is allowing him to stay seated next to her (which wasn't even his seat, I thought people had to stay in their assigned seats) after he assaulted her.
I would think both of those things caused her harm that could have been prevented (the latter being mental, but possibly being worse than the first).

To me, the most surprising part of the story is that he had already left a deposit in her hair, but when she woke up, he was still going at it. That's true dedication.marrymeflyfree wrote:When she woke up, she found a stuck substance in her hair and a man masturbating in the seat next to her.
