I should have made a category for this while I was busy making new categories a while back. It totally needs one.
The suspect, 29-year-old Michael Tanouye, was traveling with his mother from Honolulu to Kansai in Japan when he allegedly followed the woman and forced his way into the bathroom.
He then tried to take the Japanese passenger’s clothes off, before exposing himself, it is said. While struggling with Tanouye, the unnamed woman managed to push an emergency button.
However, she remained trapped with him for a few minutes as the flight crew, other passengers and her panicked mother tried to open the bathroom door, which the suspect was allegedly blocking.
It took literally unscrewing the hinges to finally get it open, free the woman and get control of Tanouye. When that was done, his mother gave him a dose of some sort of medication he takes, which caused him to fall asleep.
The plane made the 2 hour trip back to Honolulu, where Tanouye was taken into custody and charged with aggravated sexual assault and interfering with a flight crew.
