An Oregon man stands accused of a federal crime after authorities say he groped a 13-year-old girl while she was unaccompanied on a commercial flight.
Chad Camp was arrested after a Portland-bound flight out of Dallas landed Wednesday night.
According to a criminal complaint, the Gresham man's suspicious behavior began immediately after he boarded the plane and sat directly beside the girl despite an abundance of empty seats on the American Airlines flight.
As he spoke to the girl, the criminal complaint alleges Camp rubbed up against her, nudged her, touched her with his elbow and placed his hands on her knee and upper thigh.
The girl later told investigators she felt "frightened and trapped" next to Camp before a flight attendant told authorities she noticed Camp's hand near her crotch and tears in her eyes.
The flight attendant said she told Camp to change seats, which he did.
Camp was arrested and charged with abusive sexual contact.
Meanwhile, the teen's parents say they plan to sue American Airlines, which charges an extra $150 for unaccompanied minors in part to ensure the safety of the child. Cont.
