What I meant was he was arrested, drunk, and charged with battery of an under 18 victim, which to me indicates that the "child abuse" could be more like "a drunk DYKWIA 20 year old beat up a 15 year old kid" and not the "continued pattern of physical abuse of a toddler" that most associate with the term child abuse.
Sorry I wasn't legally accurate in my post. I'll consult an attorney next time so I don't repeat that mistake.

My local news says he was a non-rev friend of an employee

For nonrev behavior this egregious and expensive to DL, I would expect the employee who provided the pass to be terminated. Answering questions or even losing nonrev benefits for a while doesn't seem sufficient for causing a diversion of a TPAC flight and trashing the galley, plus injuring at least two people on board enough for them to be removed from the flight for medical treatment.

Someone in the FB page DDMF posted the guy's FB page earlier today. I have it open in a tab but I don't dare refresh it because it might disappear if I refresh it. They also said the perp is the son of a Delta employee.

However, can grown children fly on these dependent passes, especially when they're no longer students and presumably not legal dependents?

It is literally impossible to open an emergency exit door in flight. If you're ever sitting next to someone who tries to do this, feel free to just laugh at them instead of hitting them over the head with wine bottles; neither approach will make any difference whatsoever in their ability to get the door open.

Why should they?
