A 25-year-old woman, a pediatric crisis therapist, has complained that she was forced to sit next to a man who was masturbating on his seat while staring at her during an early morning United Airlines flight ahead of Labor Day weekend. After NBC News reported the incident, the airline announced an investigation into it. The woman said she reported the incident to flight staff but her seat was not changed as they said there were no other seats. But to her surprise, the airline staff did not call law enforcement, and the man deplaned at Newark Liberty International Airport "as if nothing had happened".
