A 55-year-old Texas man, Cherian Abraham, was apprehended for allegedly groping a woman on an American Airlines headed to Seattle. This incident, which occurred on March 18, follows previous accusations against him, where he reportedly groped two other woman’s breast on a previous flight. The New York Post reported that the airline has banned Abraham. 

About two hours into the flight from Chicago, the man allegedly touched an unnamed woman’s breast. He claimed it was accidental while reaching for his bag; however, the victim said he touched her again shortly after, trying to reach her nipple.

Five minutes later, Abraham poked the woman under her arm, angering her after his repeated actions. She asked, “Why are you touching me?” While she confronted him, he silently grabbed his backpack and put it on his lap, which seemed odd to a bystander, which they informed officials. 

A flight attendant confirmed that the victim requested a seat change, saying Abraham was “molesting” her. When questioned, he denied touching her until he was told about a potential witness who saw his actions. Despite past incidents and complaints, he claimed he had never been accused of groping a woman before.

On Oct. 9 the year before, another woman reported to Minneapolis Airport officials that the man touched her leg three times before she told him to stop. He denied the claims of all the women, who felt “violated.” He was apprehended on charges of abusive sexual conduct.
