    What's the story

    A drunk passenger on a Delta Air Lines flight from New York to Athens allegedly groped a 16-year-old girl and her mother while the crew denied them help, per a lawsuit.

    The onboard staff allegedly served him liquor despite his bad behavior and inebriated condition.

    They also reportedly allowed him to exit the Athens airport without alerting the authorities about the alleged sexual assault.

    More about Delta's New York-Athens flight incident 

    According to Fox News, the accused passenger was reportedly seated next to the minor girl and allegedly became aggressive toward her after she ignored him, seeing his condition. The man reportedly wanted to start a conversation with her.

    He asked for the girl's personal information and made "obscene gestures." When the girl's mother intervened, he callously disregarded her plea as well.

    However, shockingly, the man allegedly slid his fingers under her shirt to grope her, said the $2 million lawsuit.

    She then quickly jumped out of her seat, distancing herself from him.

    Airline staff showed indifference, advised women to be patient

    As the man was allegedly creating a scene and began shouting loudly at the mother-daughter duo, they reported his behavior to the flight attendants.

    However, according to reports, they were met with indifference and just advised to "be patient."

    The man allegedly continued touching the minor again while mumbling incoherently and forcefully kicking the seats in front of them.

    Pleas

    Flight attendants feigned helplessness 

    After repeated attacks, the mother reportedly begged for a change of seats, but the attendants pretended to be helpless.

    However, another male passenger offered to swap seats and sit between the accused and the mother for the remaining trip.

    After landing, he was allowed to exit the airport without action. The crew, however, apologized to the duo and offered them 5,000 free airline miles .
