An elderly Delta Airlines passenger sexually assaulted a teenager next to her sleeping mother during a flight. This is about reported on the US Department of Justice website.
The incident on board the plane, flying from Atlanta to Seattle, USA, occurred in November 2021, but a 72-year-old man from Mercer Island, Washington, named Munir Walji, was not convicted until September 13, 2024. According to the source, the man was sitting next to a 15-year-old girl and her mother. Before takeoff, they briefly chatted, and then both passengers closed their eyes to sleep.
As the plane was preparing to arrive in Seattle, the girl woke up to feel someone’s hand on her leg. She pulled away from her fellow passenger and tried to go back to sleep. But the man’s touch became more aggressive: first, he rubbed her thigh, then unbuckled her seat belt and put his hand in the teenager’s underwear. After that, the young passenger woke up her mother.
