A man was charged in Australia on April 14 with sexually assaulting another passenger on board a Scoot flight bound for Perth from Singapore, according to media reports.
In a statement on its website, the Australian Federal Police said the 52-year-old man committed “non-consensual sexual acts” on a woman seated next to him during the April 13 flight.
She then sought help from airline staff, and was moved to another seat.
Airline staff monitored the man for the remainder of the flight and alerted the Australian Federal Police. He was escorted off the plane for questioning after it touched down at Perth Airport.
