I hope he has to pay for the full costs of the aircraft diversion.
heh - hope that quick feel was worth the body cavity search he will undoubtedly get on the ground...
If there was an empty seat, why divert the flight? Was he dangerous? Seems like a bit of a ridiculous action. Why inconvenience all of the passengers if the culprit could be controlled elsewhere on the plane? Did I miss something?
Diverted?
Why?
Could they have restrained them themselves, maybe with passenger help? I don’t like using the air marshals. It would be an easy way to smoke them out IMO.

Here’s a little more information from another source:
A United Airlines flight to Seattle was forced to make an unscheduled stop Sunday in Pittsburgh to offload an unruly passenger.
Officials said a male passenger on flight 917 from Washington’s Dulles Airport was groping a woman sitting next to him, causing the woman’s young daughter to begin screaming loudly in mid-flight.
“The daughter was just freaking out,” said passenger Brian O’Neill, who was sitting one row away. “She was like ‘tell that man to stop touching my mom!’ It was the spookiest thing I ever saw in my life.”
A few yrs. ago I was on a flight from RDU to Denver.
Seated in front of me was a guy and woman.
Apparently the man, drunk, was hitting on the woman.
She reported it to the flight attendant.
Next thing I know a ramp worker shows up, demands the man get up and escorts him off the plane.
As we pull away from the ramp I looked out the window and the drunk is sitting in a chair on the tarmac watching his ride taxi away.
Each passenger should be given a baseball bat and an invitation to a piñata party...with him as the piñata.
