US Marshal Was Caught For Sexually Assaulting A Woman on Delta Airlines Flight
After reportedly acting disruptively and sexually assaulting a woman on a Delta Airlines aircraft from JFK Airport to London, a US constable was taken into custody by UK police on Tuesday. Following its Wednesday morning landing at Heathrow, the federal law enforcement officer’s “inappropriate behaviour” while intoxicated disrupted the flight.
According to the Metro Police in London, the 39-year-old constable was taken into custody on suspicion of sexual assault after staff members reported that a passenger had been unruly and had attacked other passengers and crew members in a sexual manner. As the inquiry progresses, the US Marshals Service has stated that it is committed to working with UK law enforcement authorities.
In response to accusations of staff misbehaviour, the US Marshals Service has said that it takes the situation very seriously. They further underlined that the reported behaviour does not reflect the professionalism and fundamental principles that the thousands of USMS workers uphold.
