A 34-year-old Indian national, Javed Inamdar, has been sentenced to 21 months in prison for sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl during a British Airways flight from Mumbai to London Heathrow in December last year, according to reports.
Prosecutors told Isleworth Crown Court that Inamdar, a shipping company manager and a father of two, had 'tested the waters' by stroking the girl's hand before touching her chest while she slept. The child woke up around midnight, shouting for him to 'get away,' and immediately alerted flight attendants.
