A Taylor Swift woman-fan is suing Delta Air Lines after claiming she was sexually assaulted on a flight last year, Newsweek reported.
The incident occured in the moment the woman was flying from Phoenix to Seattle on her way back from attending a Taylor Swift concert.
According to a press release from Mark Lindquist Law, Duane Brick, 53, who was a Delta mechanic at the time of the incident, pleaded guilty to abusive sexual contact in March, During the flight, he admitted, he had taken the victim's hand and placed it on his crotch, per the US Attorney's Office for the Western District of Washington.
He also reached under her shirt and groped her breast while she appeared to be asleep, per the Attorney's Office statement. Brick now faces up to two years in prison.
Delta is facing another lawsuit from the family of a 13-year-old girl who was also sexually assaulted on a flight.
The suit claimed Delta staff "enabled" the assault by allowing the "visibly intoxicated" offender, Brian Patrick Durning, to board the flight and serving him alcohol throughout.
