ATLANTA -- The family of an 11-year-old Alabama girl has filed a lawsuit against Delta Air Lines after the child said a man sexually molested her on a flight from San Diego to Atlanta.

Savannah lawyer Mark Tate is representing the family. He says the girl, whose name is not included in the lawsuit, was traumatized.

Tate says the girl reported the assault to her mother when she got off the plane January 6, but authorities have filed no criminal charges and have not identified a suspect. The mother took the report to police in Huntsville, Alabama, Atlanta police and the FBI.

Delta spokeswoman Susan Elliott says the airline tries to properly serve all passengers and to ensure their safety and security. She says Delta has special rules for keeping a close watch on children flying alone.

The lawsuit filed in Fulton County State Court says the girl was on a return trip from San Diego where she was visiting her father. Her mother, a 31-year-old property manager from Huntsville, was set to meet the plane in Atlanta.

The lawsuit says the man began rubbing himself while rubbing the child's face
