Sebastian Joseph-Day made waves last week after he took to Twitter to announce that he had been sexually assaulted at an airport.
The Los Angeles Chargers defensive lineman accused Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents of sexually assaulting him at John Wayne Airport in California. Joseph-Day opened up about the situation Friday on Twitter.
“I really just got sexually assaulted by TSA at @JohnWayneAir. 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,” he wrote.
“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.”
“And when I do try to file a complaint they are making me jump through hoops to do so.”
“I’m 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.”
TSA would eventually release a statement to Fox News on the matter on Sunday.
“We are looking into the matter to determine if our procedures were followed and whether any corrective action needs to be taken,” officials said.
“TSA remains committed to treating every traveler with dignity and respect while carrying out its security screening responsibilities.”
Joseph-Day finished his first season with the Chargers in 2022. He had a career-high 56 tackles in 16 games for Los Angeles. He also had two sacks and an interception.
