Off-Duty NWA Worker Charged With Assault On Flight Image

Heather Brown Reporting

(WCCO) Minneapolis An off-duty Northwest Airlines employee was arrested after a woman on a flight from Seattle complained that the man had ejaculated on her.

The FBI identified the man as Samuel Oscar Gonzalez, 20, of Lakewood, Wash. He was charged in federal court with simple assault, a misdemeanor.

It happened on the redeye Monday morning from Seattle to Minneapolis. The woman was headed back to college.

Near the end of the flight, the FBI said Gonzalez sat next to the woman as she was trying to sleep. He touched her, which she described as spooning, lifted her shirt and then got up and left. Court documents said she felt a warm fluid on her back, clothes and seat after he walked away. She told the officers he had ejaculated on her.

The woman told the flight attendants about the incident. They moved her to another seat and called police from the air. The crew also moved the man to a seat near the front of the plane until the end of the flight.

Northwest Airlines Corp. said the flight crew asked that police meet the flight from Seattle when it arrived early Monday in Minneapolis, and that's where officers arrested Gonzalez.

The victim told her boyfriend she was told Gonzalez is a Northwest employee.

"I know she was really upset, just kind of confused about what's going on, what's happening," said the victim's boyfriend, Mark, who asked to be identified only by his first name.

Northwest would not comment on what Gonzalez does for the airline, but said he was not working at the time.

They released a statement that said, “The NWA employee has been suspended pending a review of the incident. Northwest is cooperating fully with law enforcement authorities on this matter."

The FBI said Gonzalez was detained after his initial appearance in federal court on Monday. He could face up to six months in jail.

They'll probably charge her extra for in-flight service.

They ejaculate hard to feed their families! They're just doing the passenger ejaculation that Americans aren't willing to do themselves...!

What does "spooning" mean to her? It sounds like she had her back to him. Was she pretending to be asleep while he was touching her and lifting her skirt and doing his "spooning"?

I think she was scared of him.

"From the gross files..."

Apparently not to her, she even had a name for it. "He touched her, which she described as spooning"

Spooning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Look up spoon in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

Spooning is the act of two people lying on their sides, with one person's front to the other person's back, such that they fit together in a manner similar to spoons. The person who holds the other is often referred to as the "Big Spoon", while the participant who is held is the "Little Spoon".

Agree -- per my understanding of spooning, it takes two and is consentual. "Lifted my shirt" sounds consentual too. However, maybe she was asleep and dreaming of her boyfriend.

You are sounding like a knuckle dragging cave man here. I bet you also believe that women who dress sexy are just begging to be raped.

The comments you posted proves you are crude and a weirdo... probably both.

It's entirely possible she made the story up. We need more facts to pass judgement.

In my grandparents' generation, "spooning" meant the same as "making out", as on a park bench on a Saturday night, as in an young man and woman together (got to be specific these days, you know).

But at the risk of sounding totally un-PC, a black co-worker once took note of our boss and one of our colleagues spending a lot of time together (purely for the sake of the latter's promotion, we were convinced) by observing, "Yeah, those two are `ace spoon coons'!"

Aghast, I asked for clarification. He explained,

"Ace" meaning a superlative, to the max, etc.

"Spoon" like spoons in the flatware drawer.

"Coons" was merely alliterative, as both were white.

"The comments you posted proves you are crude and a weirdo... probably both."

And you're about as much fun as an old fart.

I was pointing out that it was SHE, per the story, who used the term 'spooning'. That's odd, as it means, as I understand it, snuggling down in a sexy butt-to-groin fashion. "Spooning" spoken as present-participle sounds to me like active mutual behavior.

That's English, by the way -- what language do you speak?
