Delta Flight Passenger Accused of Sexual Assault | Seattle News

A Delta flight from Hawaii to Seattle turned into a nightmare when a passenger was allegedly sexually assaulted by a man who refused to move from his seat — forcing her to climb over him. After she reported it to a flight attendant, the crew identified the suspect, Dominic Cortez Nichols, using his Kansas driver’s license and detained him before landing. Nichols reportedly confessed to masturbating twice during the flight, claiming he touched her to get her to move so he could have privacy — and even demonstrated his actions with a blanket. The case, involving Delta Flight 485, is now in federal court in Washington, with Nichols presumed innocent until proven guilty.
