Re: Man jailed for molesting woman on plane
Delta Airlines logged 30 incidents in the skies in one year, according to papers in the government's case against Deepak Jahagirdar, a health-care executive charged with sexually harrassing a sleeping 22-year-old Boston woman during a midday flight from Dallas to Boston on March 31, 2002.
Jahagirdar, a 1982 Harvard business school graduate who lives in Scottsdale, allegedly placed a blanket over the woman to conceal the assault. State police took DNA evidence from his hand.
Jahagirdar's attorney, James W. Lawson, is battling to keep the government from telling jurors about the frequency of sex assaults in the sky, calling the information ``every traveling woman's nightmare'' and likely to derail a fair trial.
I guess it is a real concern.
