Chargers' Sebastian Joseph-Day Says He Was Sexually Assaulted At Airport
Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Sebastian Joseph-Day is calling out a California airport after going through a TSA check that Joseph-Day thought crossed the line. Joseph-Day is alleging that three TSA agents at John Wayne Airport, in Santa Ana, Calif., sexually abused him Friday during a security check.
The 2021-22 Super Bowl champ (with the Rams) shared his experience on Twitter. He detailed his qualms with the TSA agents that "swarmed" and "dehumanized" him.

Joseph-Day Wants To Prevent The Incident From Happening Again
“I really just got sexually assaulted by TSA at @JohnWayneAir,” Joseph-Day tweeted. “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.
“I’m all for people doing their job well,” he added. “But it was extremely unnecessary and dehumanizing. I travel a lot, for personal and work reasons. I’ve never experienced anything like that.”
The airport's Twitter profile replied with a robotic answer.
"Hello , thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our priority is providing a comfortable and safe experience when traveling through John Wayne Airport. We are forwarding this information to TSA."
