It was shocking behaviour. You would expect it maybe on a budget airline but not in the first-class cabin on BA.

If people end up like this after "consuming too much" then they should know their limits and not drink (as much). Being drunk isn't an excuse to sexually assault someone.

According to quotes from BA in the DM article, they seem to be taking the incident with the golfer much more seriously than the incident with the rapper: "appropriate action will always be taken" and "our customers and crews deserve to enjoy their flights and not to suffer any form of abuse" sound almost like a joke given what happened on the flight that's the subject of this thread and how it was handled.
