A 61-year-old Indian man allegedly groped and kissed his female co-passenger on Sunday, when she had fallen asleep on a United Airlines flight headed towards Newark. The man named Raminder Singh was arrested for sexual abuse when the plane landed.

On Monday, Singh, a resident of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was produced before the federal court in New Jersey and charged with abusive sexual contact. According to U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Paul J. Fishman, the victim had stated that Singh was a stranger to her.

The women stated that she was sleeping in her window seat, during her flight from Houston to Newark, and woke up to find the Indian man kissing her and his hands were inside her shirt while he pleasured himself.

She rushed to inform the cabin crew at the back of the plane, after pushing off Singh from herself. The woman demanded that Singh be arrested by police when the plane lands. As soon as the aircraft landed Singh was arrested by the FBI for allegedly groping the woman while touching himself.

In the United States, all cases of sexual abuse that take place in a plane while in flight comes under the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal government.

According to the authorities, if convicted Raminder Singh would be sentenced with two years in prison and a fine amounting to $250,000.
