Centava Dozier

Centava Dozier has filed a $200,000 lawsuit against American Airlines claiming a passenger masturbated in the seat next to her while she was flying from DFW International airport to Los Angeles last spring.

Dozier filed the suit Monday. Airline officials say employees took action and the man was arrested when the plane landed. Dozier claims she did not receive help from employees on board.

She says she was sitting in an unoccupied row and fell asleep. When she woke up, Dozier says she felt a sticky substance in her hair and found a man sitting next to her masturbating. The 21-year-old claims she requested that the man move back to his assigned seat, but no one helped her.
