SALT LAKE CITY — Utah kidnapping and rape survivor Elizabeth Smart said Thursday that she was sexually assaulted on an airplane last year while she was sleeping.
“The last time someone touched me without my say-so was when I was kidnapped, and I froze,” she said. Smart's spokesman, Chris Thomas, said Thursday the attack happened July 19 on a Delta Air Lines flight from Philadelphia to Atlanta.“I called up my husband and I was like, ‘Do I just have a big badge on my forehead that says ‘Easy Prey’ or ’Victim?'" Smart told CBS. “Because I'm sick of it.”In 2002, Smart was held captive and repeatedly sexually assaulted for nine months before she was rescued.
