A United Airlines passenger recounted an incident of harassment on a flight from Rochester to Newark. According to her, a man aged 35–40 sitting next to her began masturbating after the plane reached cruising altitude. She reported this to the crew, but flight attendants said there were no empty seats and allowed her to stand in the aisle. Before landing, she was forced to return to her seat despite her objections. After landing, the offender left the plane unhindered. The airline offered a $100 voucher for a ticket costing around $400. The passenger filed complaints with United Airlines, the FAA, and the FBI. She noted that she felt deliberately trapped by people whose job is to help passengers.
