The drunken JetBlue passenger who treated a sleeping 11-year-old girl like a latrine is a member of the US Ski Team who refused to apologize yesterday for the high-altitude incident. The leaky loser showed no remorse outside his family's palatial Vermont home, where he ignored questions over the incident and refused to apologize to his victim.
Vietze had taken an overnight flight from Portland, Ore., to JFK Wednesday on his way home from a weeklong training camp with the US Ski Team at Mount Hood in Oregon.
His young victim, who was flying with her sister and cancer-stricken father on a trip to see her grandmother for the first time since his diagnosis. Soon after takeoff, Vietze staggered from his seat and emptied his bladder onto the girl, who was momentarily left alone while her dad and sister were in restrooms.
Vietze later told the police, "I was drunk, and I did not realize I was pissing on her leg."
The girl's father, a Stage 4 cancer patient, caught Vietze and attacked him.
"F- -k that kid. I don't want him near my family!" he yelled. Flight attendants had to separate the men.
Vietze admitted to cops that he had consumed eight alcoholic beverages before boarding the flight. He was issued a federal summons for indecent exposure, but prosecutors later decided to drop the case. The father didn't want his traumatized 11-year-old daughter to be interviewed by cops, likely sparing Vietze criminal charges.
