Overview
- Judge Simon Davis sentenced Javed Inamdar, 34, to 21 months after a jury convicted him of assaulting a girl under 13 by touching.
- The girl woke up crying and shouting and told cabin crew he had put his hand up her top and touched her breast, according to testimony.
- Cabin staff relocated Inamdar, alerted the captain and BA security, and police arrested him when the aircraft landed at Heathrow.
- Inamdar told crew he might have confused the child for his wife and later told police he had been asleep and could not recall where his hand was.
- Court reporting noted he is a foreign national without UK status who lived in employer-provided housing on conditional bail before sentencing.
