A Canadian man appeared in a Florida federal court and was sentenced to six months in prison for groping an American Airlines flight attendant.
Enio Socorro Zayas, 50, was sentenced to six months in federal prison in a Miami federal court on Monday.
According to authorities, Zayas was traveling on an American Airlines flight from Cancun, Mexico, to Miami International Airport in August when a flight attendant serving refreshments left snacks on Zayas’ lap, believing he was asleep.
Zayas then grabbed the flight attendant on the back of the leg and moved his hand up to her buttocks without her consent.
After arriving in Miami, the flight attendant reported her encounter with Zayas, and several passengers corroborated her story.
Zayas plead guilty to assault in October. He'll serve his six month sentence in a United States federal prison.
