Woman Says Jet Blue Attendant Sexually Harassed Her All Flight Long

Gina Rousett of New Jersey says a Jet Blue flight attendant was way too attentive on her flight back to Newark from Fort Lauderdale. The incident happened over seven months ago and led to the arrest of Dayne Arokium and his termination from the airline, but Rousett's just now telling her creepy story to CBS2. After some friendly chitchat during boarding, Rousett says Arokium told her "he was going to have nobody sit next to me because I was all his...He kept telling me that he wanted me. At one point he said, 'You know you want me,' and [he was] always grabbing himself, all the time." When those moves failed to romance Rousett, the amorous attendant showed her a naked photo of himself on his cell phone. Arokium admits showing her the photo, but denies grabbing Rousett's butt or "acting in a harassing manner."

There are heterosexual male flight attendants?

Amanda Harletsch

sleazebags might think being a flight attendant is the perfect scenario for their active fixation of harrasment

This is why there shouldn't be male flight attendants.

Umm, yeah, that's the reason.

"are" [sic]: should be "aren't charged..."

Rob T Firefly

Coffee, tea, or me?

I'm surprised that half these low brow horn dogs who prowl around are charged with harassment or at least a slap on the face.

I used to work as a Teacher's Assistant at a community college. The classroom horn dogs, without fail, zero in on the prettiest/bustiest lady and spend the rest of the semester hanging off of them like tropical parasites. Gross.
