LA Chargers' Sebastian Joseph-Day Accuses TSA Agents Of Sexual Assault

Joseph-Day opened up about the assault on Twitter Friday, March 28.

“I really just got sexually assaulted by TSA at @JohnWayneAir,” he wrote. “After I asked the gentleman to please stop BC I’m uncomfortable and I feel that this part of the check is unnecessary (After he felt what was needed). Then they told me I was the problem after 3 TSA agents swarmed me.”

Joseph-Day added that while he supports “people doing their job well,” the incident was “extremely unnecessary and dehumanizing.”

“I travel a lot, for personal and work reasons. I’ve never experienced anything like that,” he tweeted, tagging the airline again.

I’m all for people doing their job well. But it was extremely unnecessary and dehumanizing. I travel a lot, for personal and work reasons. I’ve never experienced anything like that @JohnWayneAir .

The Pennsylvania native added later that filing a complaint is out of the question, sharing that when he tried to do so, the Orange County airport makes him ” jump through hoops.”

And when I do try to file a complaint they are making me jump through hoops to do so. @JohnWayneAir

TSA has addressed the incident, stating they are “aware of allegations made by a traveler who was screened by TSA officers at John Wayne Orange County Airport Friday morning,” Fox 59 reported.

“We are looking into the matter to determine if our procedures were followed and whether any corrective action needs to be taken,” the agency said.

Concluding him recounting what happened, Joseph-Day said that he’s not “sharing this on Twitter for sympathy. I’m sharing this so this group of gentleman and staff aren’t allowed to do this ever again to another human being,” he wrote.
