A British mother of three was sexually assaulted mid-air while parasailing in Africa, according to a report.

Michelle Wilson, 52, said she was strapped into a harness with a parasail operator when he pressed himself against her and groped her while they soared through the sky off the beach in Sousse, Tunisia.

\u201cI could feel the back of my bikini bottoms being pulled, and he was pulling the strap,\u201d she told The Sun. \u201cHe must have been tightening the harness to get me closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His legs straddled around me, he had one hand up on the parachute, the other wasn\u2019t. Then I felt him touch my leg.\u201d

\u201cHe was groping me and moving back and forth into me and talking to me in Arabic,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cI felt him pressing against me. I kept arching my back. I felt violated and dirty and was scared. He was only a young lad, maybe around 20.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She originally planned to take the ride with a friend but was told it was too windy and that she and her pal would have to go separately accompanied by an operator.

The friend \u201chad a great time with no problems,\u201d Wilson said.

Wilson said that as soon as she was back on the ground, she burst into tears and reported the incident to local police. She said the incident ruined her vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As women you expect a bit of banter from men in these countries, but this wasn\u2019t banter, it was a sexual assault,\u201d she said.

Wilson spent $8,000 for the trip to Tunisia wither her 17-year-old daughter, her friend and her 16-year-old twin sons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She believes the man has since been arrested. British authorities and Wilson\u2019s insurance company are assisting in the case, she said.

EasyJet, with whom Wilson booked the trip, are looking into the assault as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
