Surveillance Video Shows Moments Before Alleged DIA Sex Assault
DENVER (CBS4) - CBS4 has obtained video of the moments before and after a woman was reportedly sexually assaulted in the councourse at Denver International Airport.
Noel Bertrand, a former Marine, is facing one count of sexual assault.
At 11:58 p.m. on April 11 the woman and the man who appears to be Bertrand are seen walking together to a gate on the largely deserted A Concourse.
The trouble happened about a half hour later. The alleged victim claimed three airport employees passed by doing nothing at 12:30 a.m.
Two Frontier mechanics -- Kris Musil and Mark Adams -- wound up being the ones who intervened.
"He had made some comments how 'I guess you don't know the difference between rough sex and fighting,'" Adams told CBS4.
Less than two minutes later more help arrived and Bertrand was arrested.
The mechanics said the victim in the case was very shaken up afterwards.
"She was crying, of course, and was having a hard time breathing. She asked me if I would get her bag her suitcase for her and she grabbed an asthma inhaler and took a couple of puffs off it," he said.
Although the incident itself cannot be seen on the video, the tapes are expected to be used as evidence.
Bertrand has a scheduled court appearance on Thursday.
