Recently, a disturbing incident occurred on an Alaska Airlines flight that has led to serious consequences for the perpetrator. Desmond D. Bostick, a 25-year-old man, pleaded guilty to assault with intent to commit a felony after repeatedly groping a woman seated beside him on a flight from San Diego to Seattle.
According to court documents, Bostick admitted to touching the woman inappropriately with the intention of arousing his sexual desires. Throughout the over three-hour-long flight, he used a blanket to cover his hand while caressing the woman's thigh. He also squeezed her buttocks twice as she stood up to allow another passenger to pass.
