While his wife was sleeping next to him, a man groped a young woman on a flight.
In a Detroit bound flight from Las Vagas, USA, a woman accused an Indian IT manager of groping her while she slept.
Prabhu Ramamoorthy will be sentenced by US District Judge Terrence Berg on the 12th of December. He is to face a lifetime in prison, and if ever released, will be deported back to India.
The incident took place 7 months ago, where the 22-year-old victim said she was sitting in a window seat next to Prabhu Ramamoorthy, whose wife was in the aisle seat of the Spirits Airlines.

The woman said that she fell asleep and woke up to discover a hand in her pants and noticed that her pants were unbuttoned and her shirt untied. When she woke up, the man stopped, and the woman alerted a flight attendant, the report said.
Prabhu Ramamoorthy initially told investigators that he was in a deep sleep and did not do anything, it said.
Later, he told an FBI agent he “might have” undone the woman’s bra and cupped her breast, according to court records, the report added.
The US attorney Matthew Schneider said in a statement: “We will not tolerate the behavior of anyone who takes advantage of victims who are in a vulnerable position, and we are glad the jury agreed. We appreciate the victim in this case for her courage to speak out.”
