'Shining a light on assaults on men': NFL player sues airline after female passenger 'ripped off his mask & GRABBED HIS PENIS'
An unidentified NFL player is aiming to "shine a light on assaults made on men" as part of a lawsuit alleging that an intoxicated female flyer who was taking prescription pills made "unwanted sexual advances" on a red-eye flight.
The footballer, who has only been described as an African American alongside his fellow complainant, has claimed that a “middle-aged Caucasian female” continued her advances despite four complaints to staff, telling the player he looked “frightening” in a mask worn to protect against COVID-19 infection, according to the lawsuit.
Pursuing a jury trial, the papers said that the woman, who was intoxicated and taking prescription pills on the flight between Los Angeles and Newark in February, ripped off the player's face mask and grabbed his penis as the situation on the red-eye flight escalated.
Our goal is to shine a light on how assaults can and are being made on men, not just women...assault is assault, regardless of the gender, race and physical attributes of the victim.
“Once these characteristics are added into the equation, the usual stigma and social stereotypes associated with sexual assaults are amplified.”
Attorneys Darren Darwish and Benji Azizian added that sexual assaults “continue to be an ongoing problem” and are particularly prevalent on red-eye flights, and said that the FBI had warned airlines in 2018 about the “alarming rate”at which those assaults were increasing.
