An off-duty Northwest Airlines employee was arrested after a woman on a flight from Seattle complained that the man had ejaculated on her.
The FBI identified the man as Samuel Oscar Gonzalez, 20, of Lakewood, Wash. He was charged in federal court with simple assault, a misdemeanor.
According to an affidavit filed with the complaint, the woman said she was trying to sleep in her seat when the man sat down in an empty seat next to her.
The woman said he touched her, -- which she described as spooning -- lifted her shirt and then got up and left. According to court documents, the woman said she felt a warm fluid on her back, clothes and seat after he walked away. She told the officers he had ejaculated on her.
The crew moved the man to a seat near the front of the plane until the end of the flight. Northwest Airlines Corp. said the flight crew asked that police meet the flight from Seattle when it arrived early Monday in Minneapolis.
"The NWA employee has been suspended pending a review of the incident. Northwest is cooperating fully with law enforcement authorities on this matter," the company said in a statement.
Northwest said that Gonzalez was an equipment service worker, a category that includes baggage handlers, but said he was not working at the time.
Baggage handler indeed. Hope she didn't ask for cream with her coffee.
