Well, yes, that's rather the point. If someone is touching me without my permission and refuses to stop or become more aggressive when requested to stop, I do see it as a "HUGE deal" and I would certainly ask the FA to intervene for my protection. And in a question between getting away from the groper and being nitpicky about exactly in which seat I sit, my priority is to move away from the groper. If the FA wishes to try to make him move instead, well, that's not a battle I personally want to start.
And what do you do if "speaking up directly" doesn't work?
