If the other male passenger hadn't offered to switch seats with the daughter, where could they have moved the drunk guy to (assuming it was a fully booked flight like so many are these days?)
Is the flight crew able to put such a passenger in the crew "break area?"
Where do they put passengers that need to be restrained on full flights?

^^ This. You bet he would have been restrained like this if he had gotten argumentative with the flight attendants. But sexually assault a teenager? Nope, they left him in place. I wish I were surprised.

The flight attendants belong in jail.

They need to be fired. The reason they did not interfere is that they were probably scared for their own safety, and probably thought a ton of alcohol would make him go to sleep. Flight attendants are routinely harassed. It does not excuse their neglect of passengers, obviously! But, it explains why they did what they did. The result shows that they do not belong in the skies.

Pervs gonna perv... I don't think we can blame it on the alcohol. He was obviously over served, but the flight attendants should have absolutely intervened sooner. A rando had to offer up his seat for this poor girl? No one called the authorities upon landing after witnessing straight up sexual assault? Wtf!

Absolutely, they made so many errors including some criminal ones.

They should have stopped serving him long before that point. They should have found passengers to switch seats with both victims. And they should have alerted airport security at the destination that there was an alleged crime on board the aircraft and that the security and/or local police needed to be on-site before the plane landed to detain the accused, and take statements from the alleged victims. For them not to do the latter is criminal and all of the attendants should be charged with aiding and abetting sexual assault.

my guess is that they were afraid he'd get belligerent with them if they stopped serving him alcohol. But, yea, they totally F*UP. They should be fired, man locked up, and victims given the $2mil.

Oh, I hope they win big against Delta. This is utterly unacceptable.

OP here. The poor girl is only 16. I feel so so badly for her.

Crazy that it went on so long and that the help came from a passenger.

Let's just be clear: there are plenty of alcoholics and binge drinkers who would NEVER assault anyone.

What!!!

Delta refused to change the seats of the two victims after they were sexually assaulted by the drunk man seated next to them, and it took another passenger to offer to switch seats to get the daughter, at least, seated somewhere else.

I hope the man goes to prison and Delta has to pay the full whack.

Do airlines not have a maximum? Say 2 drinks per flight or something?

And no one needs more than 2 drinks (or any drinks at all) on an overseas flight. If you do, you have a massive problem.

I hope they get every dime of the $2M lawsuit they followed and he needs to be locked up.
