The article i chose talks about these two men that were accused of sexually abusing women that were seated near them on flights to Seattle. The first incident happened in January, in a flight from London, the second one was in March, on a flight from Anchorage. Babak Rezapour and Nicholas Mathew Stevens are their names. Their punishment would be two years in prison.Rezapour showed in US Court in Los Angeles, and Stevens appeared today. (Friday) In January prosecutors say that the woman was in her assigned seat on the plane and Rezapour was in a seat close to her that was not the right seat. There was turbulence on the plane, so the woman took some medicine which caused her to be dizzy and hazy. She fell in and out of sleep multiple times and woke up to him sexually abusing him. After the flight, flight attendants found her in the fetal position, she them told them what happened. For stevens in march, prosecutors say that he was sitting in the same aisle as a 22 year old woman, there was one seat in between them. He began harassing the woman and she told him to stop. He began talking about killing animals and joking about killing someone to get a girl like her. She got scared of him. According to the complaint, the defendant told officers he and the woman had touched each other throughout the flight.

The article was produced in August 31, and the place was unknown. This influences the meaning of the article because its something that literally just and happened so some people might not know how to go about it. It relates to U.S History because in the 1970's woman made marches about sexual abuse called Take Back The Night Marches. I feel like this article could be written for other predators , and it would definitely be a negative view. This article is important because it address something that is crucial and we all should open our eyes to.
