A woman who was traveling from Seattle to Honolulu was sexually assaulted by a fellow passenger who became increasingly drunk during the nightmare flight, according to a new lawsuit against Alaska Airlines and the alleged harasser.
On May 14, 2023, the woman was on a flight to Hawaii with her book club, sitting across the aisle from a male passenger whom she deemed to be "sober" at the start of the trip, according to a press release from attorney Mark Lindquist, who filed the lawsuit.
