Delta accused of serving man 10 vodka drinks before he sexually assaulted mother and daughter on flight

A mother and daughter who were allegedly sexually assaulted during a flight claim Delta not only did nothing to stop their attacker, but actively enabled him by over-serving him drinks. The victims, a mother and her teenage daughter, have sued Delta for gross negligence, according to Fox Business. The complaint was filed in the Eastern District of New York and seeks compensation for the victims. The lawsuit claims that attendants on a flight between JFK Airport and Athens Greece — a nine-hour flight — "blatantly ignored" the victims' pleas for assistance and continued to serve an allegedly already drunk and belligerent man seated next to them. Over the course of the trip, the man was reportedly served 10 vodka drinks and a glass of wine, according to court documents. "The intoxicated Delta passenger appeared to be getting drunker and drunker as the Delta flight attendants continued serving him alcohol," the lawsuit claims. The litigation claims that the man's aggression increased alongside his intoxication, manifesting in him allegedly inappropriately touching and verbally harassing the women during the flight. The man, allegedly from Connecticut, reportedly made "obscene gestures" at the victims, and demanded personal identifying information from the daughter. The girl's mother stepped in to tell the man she was a minor, to which he allegedly yelled that he did not care and then tried to grab the mother's arm. The victims reportedly told the flight attendants that the man was making them feel unsafe and asked that they move him and stop serving him alcohol. The attendants reportedly told the women to "be patient."<br/>
