Aug 12 - UA78 NRT-EWR Professor charged with groping sleeping woman
AUGUST 12---An Ivy League visiting scholar was arrested Sunday by the FBI after he allegedly groped a sleeping woman’s breast and then tried to slide his hand down her shirt while traveling on a flight from Tokyo to Newark, New Jersey. Eun-jong Lee, 47, was detained by federal agents upon departing the United Airlines flight. He was subsequently charged with abusive sexual contact, a felony carrying a maximum two-year prison term and a $250,000 fine. ” |

For someone who works in UX, I'd consider this a less than smart interaction.

HE (and the rest of the passengers) are lucky the pilot didn't land at the closest airport (RE ANCHORAGE) and off load him there to the FBI....Ive now had that happen TWICE this year (but never before) on NRT-JFK flights (Both ANA though) and its not a pleasant experience.
Both times we sat for 5-6 hours after landing due to NH having to file new flight paths, as well as waiting for alternate landing sites in Canada to open in the morning (I didn't get this part as flights fly overnight between US-ANC all the time) But when questioned I was told by both the pilots and the Ground Service Agent NH pulled out of bed that Canada is like the middle of the ocean at night and there still must be alternate landing sites avail between ANC-NYC |
As this has little to do specifically with United Airlines or Mileage Plus, please follow it in our News forum.

Dr. Lee does not seem to be too bright for an Ivy League professor. I suspect he is in for worse punishment from his school than fine and jail. Would the AAUP get involved in something like this?

That's stupid! He cannot touching with her breast. That's not good! Unacceptable! He had to stay away from the women by 500 feet. He shouldn't never touch with the women. Never!

Lee is a professor at Handong Global University in South Korea. He is also a visiting scholar at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where he was headed prior to his arrest. 8/12 UPDATE: After TSG first disclosed Lee’s connection to Cornell, a school spokesperson issued a statement saying that his “privileges at Cornell have been suspended and his future affiliation with the university will be assessed as the facts of this matter are confirmed.” |
