Barbara Morgan from Sonoma County is suing American Airlines after she was groped during a flight. Despite her urgent calls for help, flight crew failed to respond, leaving her in a state of fear next to her assailant. Upon landing, when she reported the incident to an airline gate agent, she faced victim-blaming instead of support. Her lawsuit also names the alleged attacker, who is involved in a separate criminal case. Morgan claims she experienced severe emotional distress as a result of the incident and the airline's inadequate response.
Morgan’s lawsuit claims that after her report, American Airlines engaged in victim-blaming by asking her why she hadn’t reported the incident during the flight.
The lawsuit alleges that flight crew members did not notice Morgan's distress despite her yelling for help, which exacerbated her emotional trauma during the flight.
