Woman Says Jet Blue Attendant Sexually Harassed Her All Flight Long

100208jetblue.jpgGina 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."

real life Merv the Perv

 

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.

 

Coffee, tea, or me?

 

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

 

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

Umm, yeah, that's the reason.

 

Dude needs better taste in harass-ees.
Thumbs down.

 

Cabin fever......

 

you know you want me

 

"You may unfasten your seatbelts now".

 

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

 

There are heterosexual male flight attendants?

 

ugh... what would you DO in that situation?

 

meanwhile, I'm in 27A and can't get a drink to save my life. sue him.

 

Jet blue sux... you get what you pay for.

 

Don't worry Dayne, she was just a prude. Doesnt it suck when girls dont put out? Next time practice your game at the local bars.

 

They're never around when you do want them, are they!

 

I was asking myself the same thing, #11.

 

Geez- She must have really looked good with a tan!
