United Airlines is reportedly conducting an investigation into claims that a flight crew forced a 25-year-old woman back to her seat after she reported that the man seated next to her was masturbating while looking at her.
According to NBC News, which first reported the alleged incident and interviewed the woman, a pediatric crisis therapist, the Sept. 3 flight departed Rochester, New York, and was bound for Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey at around 6 a.m.
The woman, who was not identified because of safety concerns, described the man seated next to her as a “normal looking,” “unassuming,” guy between 35 and 40 years old who was wearing a T-shirt and hiking pants, the outlet reported.
She said she immediately left her seat and reported the alleged public masturbation to United flight crew members, who allowed her to stand for most of the flight.
It is unclear whether crew members approached the man about her claims or reported the alleged behavior to the pilot.
As the aircraft approached Newark, the woman told NBC that crew members said she needed to return to her seat for landing. When she told them she was not comfortable sitting next to the man, they reportedly said she had no choice because there were no other available seats.
“On multiple instances, I said I feel uncomfortable doing that,” she explained.

Crew members told her she would only have to be seated next to him for about five minutes during landing. However, because they were seated in the rear of the aircraft, it wound up being much longer as other passengers deplaned ahead of them, the woman alleged.
What happened next, according to the woman, was that the man she reported had openly been pleasuring himself while looking at her was not met by law enforcement or United staff at the gate and was simply allowed to walk away.
“What am I supposed to do about it,” she claims a United gate agent said when she complained.
NBC reported that she took her complaints to the airline and the Federal Aviation Administration and also contacted the FBI.
In emails reviewed by the outlet, a United representative reportedly wrote, “I can imagine how upsetting and uncomfortable it must have been to experience behavior from another passenger that caused you concern, particularly while seated in a location where you felt concerned.”
In her interview, the pediatric crisis therapist called the email’s language “blaming” and “offensive.”
“Additionally, framing public masturbation as ‘behavior that caused me concern’ implies that what occurred could somehow be perceived as acceptable,” she told NBC.
She also noted that airline passengers have been removed from flights for much less offensive behavior and that United gave her a $100 credit for the roughly $400 flight.
Asked for comment, United Airlines confirmed to People that the company is looking into the alleged incident. No additional details were provided.

Jake Cook Brings Violent Mentality to Bison Package That Ohio State Will “Continue to Build On”

When Jake Cook trotted onto the field wearing No. 81 with no nameplate against Kent State as the sixth offensive lineman in Ohio State’s “Bison” package, Ian Moore got excited.
"I love it. I love seeing Jake Cook next to me," Ohio State’s starting left tackle said Wednesday after practice. "I mean, his mentality, I hate to swear, but it's just 'fuck it, I'm running.' And I love it. I love it."
Saturday was the first time Cook played a significant role with the first-team offense in his Ohio State career. He played only 17 snaps as a freshman last year, with 16 of those coming against Grambling State. But Cook has shown his coaches that he can be an asset in the Bison role, even though Ryan Day said there are still things the entire offensive line and tight ends need to clean up in that package.
"I thought there was some good things that he did. Not to get too technical about how that all played out, but they need to work together better in that situation. But that's why we tried to get into those situations to work through a game rep of it and figure out where we're at," Day said. "I think it's something that we're not going to major in, but I do think that there was enough on film to lead us to believe that we should continue to build on it and be an option for us personnel-wise."
Ohio State has struggled in short-yardage situations this year, so getting an extra offensive lineman in Cook on the field could be a way to combat that. Moore believes it’s a role that suits Cook’s game well because of the simplicity of what the Buckeyes are asking him to do in the Bison package.
"A lot of the plays he's in, they're pretty simple for him to understand. It's not like a bunch. He's not gonna start motioning into a slot set and going out for a route," Moore said. "He knows his job. He knows what he's doing. And it's,'fuck it, I'm gonna run.'"
Time will tell how much the role grows for the 6-foot-4, 310-pound sophomore, but if there's one person who's certainly excited about what Cook brings to the table, it's Moore.
"Jake just brings physicality, man," Moore said. "If he messes up, I know he's running hard, and I know he's gonna knock somebody out. It might not be the right person, but I know he's knocking somebody out. So I mean, just that juice, that energy, it's always amazing."......
