Malaysia Airlines steward put hand down my pants, weeping passenger says
Australian says member of cabin crew put hand down her pants, then begged her to keep quiet
A chief steward with Malaysia Airlines allegedly put his hand down a woman's pants during a flight to France and then pleaded with her not to report the incident, she told Australian media.
Laura Bushney, who is from Perth, said she was petrified when the steward allegedly began touching her under the guise of calming her nerves as she was afraid of flying with the disaster-prone airline.
Earlier this month, the airline issued a statement acknowledging that a cabin crew member had been detained in France over the sexual assault allegations on August 4.
Bushney, aged 26, told Australia's Channel Seven on Sunday evening that three hours into the half-full flight from Kuala Lumpur to Paris the steward sat beside her and then allegedly began massaging her legs.
He’s massaging my legs. I’m so scared, I just want to get off this plane
She also claims he later put his hand down her pants, taking advantage of her vulnerability due to a fear of flying.
