Sexual Assault Of A 13 Year Old Girl |
| |
January 20, 2017
- Back in June, FBI agents arrested Chad Cameron
Camp, age 26, of Portland on probable cause of
sexual misconduct on a 13 year old female on
board an American Airlines flight out of
Dallas/Ft. Worth for a flight to Portland,
Oregon.
Camp who was seated next to the unaccompanied
13-year-old had sexually abused the child for
more than 30 minutes ‘This Was 30 Minutes of
Hell’. Just after takeoff, a witness reported
she saw Camp touching the child inappropriately,
she reported the incident to the flight crew.
The flight crew immediately moved Camp to
another seat and notified law enforcement. Upon
landing at Portland International Airport, Camp
was detained and arrested by the FBI. Camp who
has a long history of substance abuse had just
completed a substance abuse program in Florida
and was on his way back to Oregon.
In the arrest report an American Airlines flight
attendant reported she realized something was
wrong when she noticed Camp’s hand in the 13
year old girl’s lap and “a single tear coming
down the victim’s cheek.” The report also states
Camp had inappropriately touched the child
several times and when the child moved away from
the physical contact, Camp would laugh. |

An American
Airlines flight attendant told investigators she
realized something was amiss during the flight,
while serving drinks on board the flight she
noticed Camp’s hand in the girl’s lap and “a
single tear coming down the victim’s cheek,” his
arrest warrant states.
“The victim stated that Camp … reached over with
his left hand and placed it on the victim’s knee
and slid it up to her upper thigh. The victim
crossed her right leg over her left and leaned
towards the window to break contact with Camp …
she was frightened and felt trapped.”
On Thursday, Camp pleaded guilty to making an
indecent sexual proposal to a minor and assault
with intent to commit abusive sexual contact of
a minor during an American Airlines flight from
Dallas to Portland, Oregon.
In court Camp stated, “I invaded her space,
touching her in her thigh and her groin area. I
had inappropriate conversations with her. My
words were fairly considered to be indecent.
What I did was wrong in all respects.”
Camp reported that he had been drinking heavily
during a layover just before his flight to
Portland. A witness who saw Camp reported he
“consume four mixed alcoholic drinks” at the
airport bar before boarding the flight. |
