PORTLAND (AP) — The lawyer for a 13-year-old girl who told police she was groped on a flight to Portland seeks $10 million in a federal lawsuit against American Airlines and the passenger accused of the crime.
Attorney Brent Goodfellow filed the suit Tuesday in Portland, alleging the June incident caused his client extreme fear and psychological trauma.
American Airlines spokesman Matt Miller said the company is reviewing the lawsuit while continuing to cooperate with an FBI investigation.
The suspect, Chad Camp, 26, remains in a Portland jail after pleading not guilty to abusive sexual contact.
