If You’re Going To San Francisco, Be Sure To Wear A Stranger In Your Shirt

This in-flight molestation business is getting to the point where it may need its own tag. I should get around to that whenever it is that I finally make one for United Breaks.

Anyway, the latest case took place on a British Airways flight from London to San Francisco earlier this month.

The victim was aboard British Airways Flight 285 last Tuesday when she was assaulted by Vinay Pochampally, according to a U.S. District Court criminal complaint. The molestation occurred about two hours into the flight.

The female passenger was seated in row 37, behind which was a “bulkhead of the galley and restroom area.” During the flight, Pochampally, who was assigned a seat in row 36 of the Boeing 747, “positioned himself in the gap behind row 37 and in front of the bulkhead,” reported FBI Agent Bianca Betz in a sworn affidavit.

“While in that gap, Pochampally inserted his hand, palm-side down, into the shirt of the sleeping female passenger,” noted Betz. Pochampally’s hand was “underneath the passenger’s shirt and undergarments for approximately four to five minutes, making skin-to-skin contact in the breast and upper chest area,” added Betz.

When his victim finally awoke, the intoxicated (there’s a surprise) Pochampally is said to have quickly taken his hand out of her shirt before taking off running down the aisle. You know, because that’s not suspicious at all.

He has been charged with simple assault.
