Woman 'drank pint of whisky and groped flight steward'

Well, when one has one too many, then things happen and this is a good example. It would not have been a big news if it the parties involved were the other way round i.e. if it were a man groping a stewardess.

Until the next time, cheers.

Woman 'drank pint of whisky and groped flight steward'



A woman downed more than a pint of whisky before groping a Virgin Airways steward and demanding sex, it has been alleged. 
 
Katherine Goldberg, 25, who works in education, was on a flight from South Africa to Heathrow last month when she drunkenly assaulted the crew member by grabbing his crotch, Uxbridge magistrates' court heard.

Goldberg was granted bail after her lawyer applied successfully to adjourn the case. He said: "I wish to raise representations in relation to one of the charges, that matters are dealt with by way of a caution rather than continuing with the court proceedings. 

"It is a serious allegation but there are good reasons why it would be in the public interest for the Crown to deal with her by way of a caution. I have told the court that admissions were made in interview and if matters are not dealt with by way of a caution there will be a plea of guilty at the next occasion."

Goldberg, of Ealing Common, is charged with one count of sexual assault and another of being drunk in an aircraft.
