    Woman says United Airlines paid her 'hush money'

    A woman alleges that a man mαsturbated next to her on a Unitedflight and the airline paid her $75 in “hush money” after she complained.

    “United airlines gave me $75 and told me I’m not allowed to know what happens to him unless I press charges against him,” Dixon tweeted.

    She later tweeted, “Basically, United lied about everything, let the man go after a few questions, and refused to involve law enforcement until I called the cops myself and forced them to file a report w the FBI.

    ”According to BuzzFeed, the airline initially said it had called the police to meet the man at the gate, but later clarified that authorities had never been called, at the discretion of the flight crew and gate agent.

    Another incident occurred on a Delta flight — in July, a woman alerted the flight crew. However, the man, whose name she said was Will, was able to leave the plane and the airport.

    On Thursday, the New York Times reported on two other cases.

    Ah.. I don't believe this story. My guess is nothing happened and the woman was either over hysterical, sensitive, off her meds, plain crazy or trying to manipulate (pardon the pun) the situation to get $$$.

    I call BS on this

    Yes, there are people who will create situations in order to benefit from them but this is not an isolated incident.

    We also cannot dismiss the fact that according to the FBI, sexual assaults have doubled from 2014 to 2017. What that statistics doesn't capture are the times that were not reported by Airlines or victims.

    That is great but that does not mean this happened here. She said he masterbated for 6 hours? Plus she is a 21 year old College girl that is being indoctrinated to see every man as a predator and every simple thing as a sexual misdeed.

    Believe me if there was anything to it they would have called the police. You know why they didn't? Most likely she was not credible. Also remember, men are people too with rights and accusing some one of sexual assault can ruin their live. There are many many many cases especially on campus of men accused unjustly by SJW or just plain crazy women. These girls are being ruined by this push to call everything sexual assault.

    They will wonder why the they end up old miserable spinsters that cant relate to a man.

    Also don't get me started on the "boyfriend" Where was he in all this? Probably dragging his SJW feminist girl out of trouble and telling her to drop it because it ridiculous.

    Probably told her lets go sell your crazy elsewhere

    She did call the FBI when the airlines did not. That forced the airlines to file the report and confirm that she had reported the man to the crew.

    I think your views on sexual assault are what women encounter quite a bit from men. I don't think you understand how it can immobilize women at the time it is happening.

    I do admit that having her boyfriend sitting next to her sleeping and not waking him up is unusual but everyone handles stressful situations differently.

    I'll pass on addressing your spinster comment.

    I appreciate all points of view but your current comment is not related to the article's topic. Let's see if we can get this back on track.

    What are your thoughts about airlines not reporting sexual assaults that happen during flights.

    And if she had used her phone to film it, I presume you would call it an invasion of privacy on the grounds that he bought the ticket and the seat was his own private space.
