Photos: Malaysia Airlines Again: MH20 Passenger Claims She Was Sexually Assaulted Twice

An Australian woman has told in graphic detail of the moment she was allegedly sexually assaulted twice during a Malaysia Airlines flight by a chief steward whilst he was on duty.

Laura Bushney was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Paris on August 4 when her alleged attacker Mohammed Rosli Bin Ab Karim put his hands under a blanket and into her pants.

But this is a claim which the 54-year-old has denied as he told police that Ms Bushney did not resist him.

It was three hours into flight MH20 when the 26-year-old's nightmare began.

Ms Bushney wept as she recounted the terrifying moments to Channel Seven's Sunday Night program.

She claimed Rosli touched her upper thigh before putting his hands under her clothing, using the excuse that he was 'comforting her'. She insisted he touched her genitals and then digitally raped her.

'I just keep saying "Why didn't I scream, why didn't I shout?' she said.

'I am a strong person because I can do that, I know I can. But when I was in the moment, I couldn't. I felt so scared and petrified.'

At the time Ms Rosli, who was flying to Paris to join her boyfriend, was curled up at the back of the plane in row 81, with her head against the window and empty seats beside her. It was then that Rosli sat on the aisle seat and told her, in answer to her question, that it would be another nine hours before the plane touched down in Paris.

But something about his behaviour caused her concern.
