NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey man who fondled a sleeping female passenger on a flight from Hong Kong to Newark will spend the next year in prison.
Sixty-five-year-old Ramesh Advani, of Berkeley Heights was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court in Newark. He also was fined $10,000 and must serve five years of supervised release once he's freed.
Advani had pleaded guilty in April to a charge of abusive sexual contact.
Prosecutors say he was seated next to the victim on an overnight Continental Airlines flight in May 2010.
Advani admitted he reached under a blanket covering the woman and assaulted her. She awoke and alerted the flight crew, and Advani was detained when the plane landed.
