US Marshal Accused of Sexually Assaulting Female Passenger on Flight
A deputy U.S. Marshal has been accused of sexually assaulting a passenger on board a transatlantic flight.
The incident allegedly took place while the man was travelling to London as one of two deputies responsible for extraditing a criminal defendant.
WNBC reports that the man is currently in custody after a woman complained that she had been unwillingly assaulted during a Delta Air Lines flight from New York JFK to London Heathrow.
The arrest has since been confirmed by Delta.
“Due to unruly passenger behavior while in flight, Delta Flight 1, JFK to London-Heathrow was met by local law enforcement upon landing and Delta is cooperating with their investigation,” a Delta representative said.
