Man is accused of gross act on flight from Sydney to the Gold Coast
A man has faced court after allegedly touching a woman on her leg and putting his hands in her food while on a flight. The 41-year-old allegedly placed his hand on the inner thigh of a female passenger several times on a flight from Sydney to the Gold Coast on February 4. The Australian Federal Police (AFP) also alleged he stuck his hands in her food. Officers arrested the man at Gold Coast Airport upon arrival. They charged him with a single count of an act of indecency. If found guilty, the man faces a maximum penalty of seven years' imprisonment. He appeared before Southport Magistrates' Court on Monday. AFP Detective Superintendent Scott Moller said all travellers had the right to feel safe during their journey and should not be subjected to criminal behaviour. 'When travelling through an airport and on a plane, people are bound by Australian law,' Det Supt Moller said. 'Where there is evidence someone has committed a criminal offence, the AFP will take action. 'This incident should serve as a reminder to the community that authorities will not tolerate indecent behaviour at our airports or on aircraft.'
