American Airlines made me sit next to a masturbating creep

A New York City woman says American Airlines forced her to sit next to a creep who was masturbating during a flight to Paris.

Chloe King wrote in an online post that the airline did nothing to protect her from her male seatmate, who she was told was pleasuring himself as she slept.

“I’ll never know exactly what happened on that flight, but I do know I’ll never feel completely safe flying again,” King wrote July 9 on Medium.

King — who, according to an online work profile, works as social media manager at a luxury department store — said she woke right before landing and was called to the back of the plane by a flight attendant, who informed her of the perv’s dirty deed.





The attendant said a woman on his other side saw it happen and had been moved, and that French police had been notified, King claimed.

King said not only did employees not wake her — they made her sit in her same seat after informing her of the guy’s gross behavior.

“Instead, they made me climb back over the sex offender, trapped between him and the window for the rest of the flight,” King wrote. “I was shaking and crying and trying not to get sick.”

When she landed in Paris, King said, she reported what happened at the American Airlines counter and then contacted their legal team. She wrote that all she received was a generic email regarding the “disappointing service.”

King did not say when the flight had taken place.





“Add American Airlines airplane to the long list of places where, as a woman, I will feel anxious and vulnerable,” she wrote.

American Airlines said in a statement to Time’s Motto site that they were reviewing the incident and had reached out to King, adding that French officials had interviewed the male passenger regarding the allegations when the flight landed.
