in a perfect world, I wish someone would take legal action. That would change everything. But that's not for me to say...I know it's hard and I am not in any of your shoes right now. but more and more I just wish....
I got the aggressive late-night emails trying to bully me into a relationship. He was a grub and an ignoramus. Other male pilots found it hilarious he was “fishing off the company pier”. Then again they all did too, even those with families at home. It’s just a seedy, seamy environment to have to work in.
And some of the new operators. You can go to YouTube. There is a guy some pilot boasting about how many FAs he has slept with. Or more likely probably raped.
So here I am a year after this article was written blown away. I went down a rabbit hole today as I had googled when the AA crash happened as I was sharing a story with my daughter about my own crazy AA experience sitting on the runway in the Dominican Republic. (Nothing to do with SA.) I decided to dig deeper into the guy piloting the aircraft after reading the short conversation between him and the Captain. The conversation seemed off to me, not because of the impending crash, but a question the Captain asked this pilot: “Are you ok”. My social work and psychology background (it doesn’t take a rocket scientist) kicked in and I was curious about this guy. Why did the Captain ask him this question right before this crash? Then came Sara! The Medium (disclaimer) was all I read at first. Then I deep dove into the investigation and how it mostly came down to pilot error vs manufacturer lack of warning about the rudder. I thought, well it’s been reported he’s over reacted to prior with the rudder and was warned by another pilot. I kept thinking “why did THIS guy keep f*cking up when thousands of other pilots didn’t”? Then I went back to Sara, and I got here, and it all makes sense. Sara: sooooo glad you left People, you are towers above that fluff. You’re doing great work now, important work. My thoughts are with all these amazing resilient women.
It's nice to hear from you. It really is a rabbit hole. That is interesting that you were pinged by the "are you ok?" I've had a few people over these months ask if there was anything deliberate about it but all of his aviation/airline colleagues who have spoken out, most of whom despised him, never seemed to indicate they thought that was a factor. But when someone is as twisted as he was, it certainly makes you think...
My god, Sara! I read this & I felt disgusted by what Molin did!! What a manipulative, low life lying, sick piece of shit he was! My question is why, why wasn't he stopped? He intoxicated & raped a woman! This is a felony & he should have been caught & charged with that. If the police were actually to be helpful & did their job, DNA would have linked him to this! This is why we have laws, to catch people like Molin!! If a man's DNA is on a woman and she feels like this, he raped her. I believe this FA 100% & feel sad she got preyed on. Sten Molin was a real piece of shit!!!!
I know right? This woman was very brave to tell her story and spend time going back to those moments. I know absolutely there are women who will recognize this exact MO and chilling fetish for suffocating his victims and maybe they won’t feel alone when they see this
I rejected an invitation from Sten to go to his hotel room in the early morning hours ostensibly for “sushi and Sake”. Thank you dear Lord Jesus I didn’t go to his room! He started a rumour about me that was humiliating and degrading. This is an old one though so he was not even original. It goes right back to an old rumour about Rod Stewart. Apparently the Navy arrived at port. I was at some bar with all these sailors (my former partner was in the Navy). After spending the night with them I had to be rushed to the hospital to have my stomach pumped because I had swallowed so much s***n. Some people may think this is funny. It really isn’t. It is degrading and humiliating. A person can terrorise you psychologically if they can’t get they want physically.
that is absolutely disgusting. I'm so sorry he did that to you. Thank goodness you did not go back to the room--and that he didn't physically force you or otherwise put your job in jeopardy (though by saying no you were clearly punished anyway).
He probably was extra mad because, like some other women i've heard from, you had been in a relationship with a true Navy man, not a phony like this scumbag. He never served his country. Add stolen valor to his list of crimes. Welcome to The Landing, and thank you for subscribing :)
They don’t get called out. They still don’t get called out. Molin was a crafty devious little shit. If he weren’t a pilot I’d say he’d do something as a profession like what Nassar did. Anything with access to kids.
There is one absolutely wrecked family who contacted me months ago about his "computer tutoring" business at his condo and what happened there to a teen girl in their family...
Sten Molin was always an odious specimen. A one-man putrid steaming cesspit. What a tragic squalid existence he lead.
It still blows my mind.

Sten Molin was a worthless person. We are so scared to come forward because he has so much support.
in a perfect world, I wish someone would take legal action. That would change everything. But that's not for me to say...I know it's hard and I am not in any of your shoes right now. but more and more I just wish....
I emailed you....if you don't see it, check your spam folder

and as always, i'm sorry you had to go through that. Vile.
So victims of SM and others are now speaking directly to journalists? I am just wondering if I could do this and what it would involve.
Are you on twitter? If so we can DM privately and I can explain a bit about how it would work ❤️
This is horrible. I know the perpetrator
It continues to blow my mind and make me furious every time we hear from a new victim. Welcome and thank you for subscribing 🙏

sounds like some of the old operators are still going, from what I'm told. I'm sorry he did that to you. Vile.

Disgusting
You’re embarrassing yourself Vicente
Hi there Sara,
It’s not that I thought he might be despondent at all. It just piqued my curiosity. ‘Something’ caused the captain to ask that question.
So here I am a year after this article was written blown away. I went down a rabbit hole today as I had googled when the AA crash happened as I was sharing a story with my daughter about my own crazy AA experience sitting on the runway in the Dominican Republic.

Exactly! & so true! I commend her bravery!! There are so many victims of Molin & its scary :( this guy had serial killer type MO & fetish
Don't excuse rape. Molin was a rapist, a dirtbag and a slob. Rape is rape no matter what. No means no. No consent doesn't mean yes.
You’re a fucking lying bitch

Yes. Let’s chat tomorrow over twittter DM to set up a time for a phone call ❤️
