Serial harasser banned from American Airlines for allegedly groping young woman aboard flight

A 55-year-old man allegedly groped a 22-year-old woman aboard an American Airlines flight from Chicago to Seattle — the third time the Dallas resident has been accused of sexually harassing a fellow traveler mid-flight.

Cherian Abraham was arrested Monday on one count of abusive sexual contact, which carries up to two years in federal prison. He does not yet have an attorney listed in court records, and was unable to be reached for comment. Reached by phone on Tuesday, Abraham’s wife declined to comment to The Independent, hanging up without providing further details of her husband’s situation.
