Drunk Man Assaults Woman On Flight, Asked Her To Make Love With Him

The incidents of unruly passengers on flights have been drastically increasing in the past few months. Recently, a man named Adam David Seymour sexually assaulted a female passenger and asked her to make love with him The incident took place on a flight that was travelling from Seattle, Washington, to Anchorage, Alaska.

The woman revealed that initially the man appeared to be friendly, but his behaviour began changing after he consumed three bottles of liquor. He had also ordered two bottles of Jack Daniel’s and Coke.

Drunk Man Assaults Woman On Flight

The woman explained that after being inebriated, the man began slurring his words and moving closer to her. He started touching her inappropriately without her consent. He had also made several sexual comments and asked her to make love to him. He had claimed that the flight was going to crash and everyone was going to die.

The woman had initially tried ignoring his behaviour, as she was afraid that responding might trigger him. She tried to get the flight attendant’s attention when the man claimed the flight was going to crash.

The man had created a huge ruckus inside the plane and lit a cigarette in the bathroom. He also threatened an off-duty officer on the flight that he would kill him. The flight attendants decided to stop offering him alcohol, but he gulped down another bottle and claimed it was hand sanitiser.

After the plane landed, the man was detained by the airport police, but he refused to take the breathalyser test. He was then charged with assault with the intent to commit a felony at the Anchorage Federal Court.

Being inebriated is never an excuse for disrespectful and unruly behaviour. A man who can drown multiple bottles will definitely not be someone who is drinking for the first time. Assuming that the man misbehaved due to alcohol consumption and that he might not be a first-time drinker, he shouldn't have gotten drunk to such an extent.

Why aren’t men taking responsibility for their behaviour? Can’t they even keep themselves from getting intoxicated on a flight? It’s a flight, not a bar for them to gulp down litres of alcohol. If putting these offenders on the no-fly list or imposing fines on them isn’t working, there should be some kind of rule that limits every passenger's alcohol intake on flights. After all, they are on a plane to travel, not to drink!
