A Canadian man is in jail for sexually abusing a flight attendant.
A Canadian man has been sentenced to six months in US federal prison for molesting an American Airlines flight attendant on a flight from Mexico to Miami.
Enio Socorro Zayas was sentenced in Miami federal court. He pleaded guilty to the assault.
According to a criminal complaint, a female flight attendant left snacks on the lap of a sleeping passenger.
This seemed to have been taken as an advance by Zayas.
Without the flight attendant's consent, he reached around his side and grabbed the back of her leg.
The flight attendant reported the incident when she arrived in Miami.
There have been a number of incidents in which male passengers have touched female cabin crew and fellow travellers without their consent.
A Frontier Airlines passenger was taped to his seat last year after he groped two flight attendants and punched another in the face on a flight from Philadelphia to Miami.
In a video posted online, a man can be seen with his mouth partially covered with tape calling for help as the plane prepares to land.
A person who claims to be the unruly passenger in the video spoke of how he was treated.
Berry wrote that this will be the most dehumanizing experience in his entire life. It has gone on the internet to make matters worth it.
