Narrative:

I was called on the interphone by flight attendant #1 to forward galley for my opinion. A coach passenger was in first class galley crying and said she was sleeping and woke up with a passenger seated next to her, with his hands between her legs. I know that that was not his original seat. I had helped him stow his luggage preflight. She seemed genuinely traumatized and we decided to have the auths meet the flight in sju. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter said that the young woman had had the whole row to herself when she went to sleep. She woke up to see him sitting right next to her on an empty flight. She shrugged it off and went back to sleep. When she woke up again, the man had his hands up her skirt. She immediately jumped up and ran to the galley, sobbing. She was really traumatized by the incident. After the crew consoled her and the captain had offered to get the police to meet the flight. The woman was too shook up to make the decision to have him arrested, so she called her husband from the plane to ask for his advice. He said he'd be at the airport to meet her and that he'd make sure the police were there to arrest the guy. The crew moved the woman up to first class for landing, so she'd be off the plane before him.
