A U.S. immigration officer is facing prison after being convicted of taking up-skirt video of a flight attendant last year while on duty escorting a passenger bound for deportation.
The man faces a maximum sentence of 20 years for interfering with flight crew enroute from Dallas โ Fort Worth to Miami on November 6, 2023.
The crewmember had noticed him holding his phone in a suspicious manner, pointing it up whenever she walked by. Another flight attendant recorded him doing it. They informed the pilot, who arranged for law enforcement to meet the aircraft on arrival. They found multiple up-skirt images on the CBP officerโs phone.
Sentencing is scheduled for August 16. In a statement from the manโs attorney, he โregrets his actionsโ and seeks โforgivenessโ presumably because heโd like a modest sentence.
From their earliest days, flight attendants have faced sexual harassment. Harassment may be somewhat less common in the U.S. than it used to be since social norms have shifted away from โcoffee, tea, or me?โ and air travel itself is, for the most part, no longer โsexyโ. But nearly everyone has video now in their pockets.
Of course in the fall a flight attendant was caught taking video up a passengerโs skirt and several years ago German airline Condor warned pilots to stop taking video of flight attendants having sex.
