Woman groped on delta flight

A US woman says she awoke on an overnight Delta flight to a man squeezing her crotch, and then leaning on top of her as she struggled to get out of her aisle seat. Nearly two years after she says she watched the man walk off the plane unhindered, Dvaladze sued Delta Air Lines in federal court on Tuesday - unsatisfied with the frequent flier miles she says the airline offered for the inconvenience of a sexual assault. She was going to help run a breast cancer programme for developing countries there, the Seattle Times reported. A few hours into the flight, as the cabin lights dimmed, she drifted off to sleep with headphones in her ears. She said she awoke to find her seat-mate's hand between her legs.
