About Sexual Assault
According to RAINN, an American is sexually assaulted every 73 seconds. Sexual assault includes a number of incidents, including rape, sodomy, groping, touching, grazing, and more. Although the victims of sexual assault are mostly women, men can also be sexually assaulted. Sexual assault can have a major impact on the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of victims. Even after physical injuries heal, victims are often left dealing with long-term mental and emotional trauma.

Sexual Assault on Airplanes
Unfortunately, sexual assault on airplanes is not unheard of. Although airplane passengers typically feel safe around pilots and airplane staff, it is possible for pilots to attack passengers sexually. According to the FBI, sexual assault incidents on airplanes qualify as felonies. The FBI recommends that victims report the incident immediately after landing to ensure that the attacker is held criminally accountable. Although criminal charges are often pursued, it is also possible for victims to pursue civil cases against the attacker and, potentially, against his or her employer.
Establishing Liability for Sexual Assault
Who is liable for the sexual assault that you suffered? According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), private pilots have a duty to do everything in their power to keep passengers safe. If a private pilot intentionally and maliciously subjects a passenger to sexual assault, he or she is breaching the duty of care owed to passengers and could be liable of all harm resulting from the incident. In other words, a private pilot that sexually assaults a passenger could he held accountable. Could the private pilots employer be liable as well? If the pilot was chartered through an aviation company dedicated to making aircrafts or pilots available to passengers, the company might also be liable; the company could be liable for the sexual assault based on vicarious liability.
