she had told crew at the beginning of the flight about her apprehension of flying with the airline in the wake of the two disasters.

then why did she take Malaysia flight? Was she expecting free counseling by a therapist on board MH20? something fishy.

Sounds like a setup to me. I'll bet she settles out of court for an undisclosed sum.

Maybe she bought her tickets before either of the two previous incidents.

this story lacks details so it's difficult to comment, but wouldn't be a little difficult to assault somebody on an airplane, with so many people and flight attendants around in a very narrow setting?

Malaysia Airlines really needs to change their MHxx flight code prefix, it's so ominous now..

This is a set up for a monetary gain. Why couldn't she ask him to leave? What was she afraid of? I assume there were other passengers flying with her who could rescue her. I do not believe her story at all.

I agree, with previous posters, from the info given this sounds like a scam.

This article raises more questions than it could possibly answer. The accusation of "sexual assault" or "inappropriate sexual conduct" is a serious criminal allegation, and if an article is going to be written about it, there needs to be more concrete info than just the allegations repeated in quotes within the article. No one is asking for grim details that invade anyone's privacy, and if there was an assault then I hope due legal recourse serves, but if the entire world is going be told about this incident, bringing further negative attention to MH, then it needs to be backed up with some kind of facts or details. The article says he "...sat beside her and sexually assaulted her...". (I wonder what the other passengers were thinking as this went on).

If that's all the information they've got, or all they're willing to give, then there is no article here, no reason to write it, and no reason to draw attention to or discredit MH any further...........

Unless that is the objective. Otherwise what is the purpose of the last four paragraphs? The article effectively ends before those last twists of the knife are added in. Makes me go hmmmm.

What?! Talk about bad press...

Maybe the flight was cheaper than others? Why do some people have to make up their own daft theories about set ups and pre-planned complaints?

All she had to do was yell and somebody would have done something. Bad press at the least. Certainly a lot of missing information.
