A woman is speaking out after she discovered a male passenger sitting next to her during a flight was caught masturbating while she slept, but crew members did not wake her up or allow her to change seats.

According to the New York Daily News, Chloe King was on an American Airlines flight from New York City to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France, when she decided to take a nap. When she woke up, she was informed that the man sitting next to her had been caught masturbating while she slept.

While flight attendants allowed the other woman in the row who reported the man to change seats, crew members told King that she would have to return to her assigned seat. She was then forced to climb past the man to her seat, where she was shaking and crying for the remainder of the flight.

Attendants did inform King that police would be waiting to arrest the masturbating man when the plane landed in Paris, but her biggest issue was not being woken up during the incident and being forced to sit next to the man for the remainder of the journey.

Once the plane landed safely in Paris, the man was arrested and King went to the American Airlines service desk to file a complaint. She claims she was met with blank stares and was sent a generic email after she escalated the matter to the airline's legal department.

"We are reviewing how we handled the situation on this flight, and have reached out directly to Ms. King," American Airlines said in a statement to the Daily News.
