A few weeks ago, I wrote about how a passenger was arrested after pleasuring himself on a Southwest Airlines flight. The passenger was jailed after this case was heard in court.

Backstory of the Southwest masturbation incident

Southwest Airlines flight 3814 from Seattle to Phoenix had an incident. I don't want to quote it, because it's too gross to even say.

McGarity exposed his penis and masturbated while in view of the female passenger seated next to him. McGarity was seated in seat 11F and his female witness was seated in seat 11E. Shortly after takeoff, and while the aircraft was in the air, McGarity exposed his penis by pulling down his pants and shorts and began masturbating. The female witness captured pictures of McGarity with his hand on his erect penis, which I reviewed during the course of my investigation. At some point during the flight, McGarity fell asleep and the female witness got up and advised the flight crew about the incident. She was moved to another seat on the aircraft.

After Southwest Airlines Flight 3814 landed in Phoenix, Arizona, the female witness sitting next to McGarity was interviewed by Phoenix Police Officers. She advised McGarity exposed his penis by pulling down his pants and shorts and proceeded to masturbate during the first hour of the flight, starting shortly after takeoff. McGarity masturbated with his exposed penis in view of the female passenger on four separate occasions, using both his left and right hands. She suspected that McGarity ejaculated because he licked a white substance from his fingers.

Passenger gets 48 day jail sentence

The man who pleaded guilty to lewd, indecent, or obscene acts while onboard an aircraft has been sentenced to 48 days in jail. He won't be allowed to fly commercially during his time on parole. The maximum penalty for this offense was 90 days in jail.

The passenger has several prior state and local convictions for lewd and lascivious conduct. It wasn't the guy's first time doing this.

Bottom line

A man who masturbated on a Southwest Airlines flight in April has pleaded guilty and will be sentenced in 48 days. I think the punishment is fair since this isn't his first time doing something like this.

What do you think of the Southwest passenger?

The tip of the hat was given to Mike.
