A couple who flew from Tenerife to Bristol last March have been sentenced after at that time were discovered masturbating in full view of the rest of the passengers, which is why the police stopped them when they arrived at their destination.
Bradley S. and Antonia S. were flying in adjacent seats and according to witnesses, shortly after the plane took off They heard how the young man, 22, asked his girlfriend, 20, to masturbate him.
The couple then placed their coats on Bradley’s lap and, according to a court ruling, began masturbating him, next to the third passenger in the row and in view of a mother and her fifteen-year-old daughter who were in the back seats and who claimed to have seen the “parts” of the young man.
During the trial, now held, Antonia claimed that she was only rubbing Bradley’s leg, although witnesses described the movements as “energetic”.
Finally, both pleaded guilty to a crime of “outraging public decency by committing a sexual act in a public place“And the judge, in addition to condemning them, reprimanded them.
Magistrate Lynne Matthews reproached them for “not taking into account the feelings of other passengers.” “There was a girl sitting behind you who could see what was happening. Who do you think you are and what right do you think gives you the power to behave that way in full view of the people on that flight?“the judge asked them.
Bradley was ordered to carry out 300 hours of community work and his girlfriend 270 hours. In addition, they were ordered to pay 100 pounds (about 120 euros) to each of the three witnesses.
