Interesting retort, but yes I did talk with a crewmember involved. It all started when I offered him (the jumpseater) my overhead speaker for the flight and he asked for a headset. I was curious why he wanted one and that set off the story of him being violated. I knew him before he showed up for the jumpseat, so I have no reason not to believe him. I don't know the fed involved and I don't know what the final outcome of the violation was. Just putting out some information so it doesn't happen to the next guy.
