Flight attendant arrested for touchy situation
The next time you complain about the service from flight attendants, consider the opposite extreme. Jaime Daria Samia, an attendant on United Airlines, was arrested in Chicago after (allegedly) he allegedly rubbed the hand and arm of a 16-year-old passenger ... and kicked in a few inappropriate comments to make the situation worse.
The boy's father reportedly told police that this behavior persisted through the entire four-hour flight, even after the minor told Samia to stop. For not recognizing boundaries – or simply listening to the alleged victim – the 57-year-old FA will have to appear in Cook County Criminal Court on August 11, 2009 on a misdemeanor battery charge. He was released on $100 bond and is being "held out of service" pending the results of the investigation.

That has to be a hard situation to be in. Once something like that starts, you know you are trapped with the person for so long!

I think somthing fishy. The father or the boy let this happen for 4 hrs. and didn't say a word or scream. May be they saw Mr. Jaime's face only$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I agree with Wara, if Jaime was so offensive, why didn't dad bring it to an immediate stop!
