London: A 38-year-old drunk Indian-origin man, who pestered a schoolgirl on a New Delhi-London flight, has been jailed for four months and ordered to sign the sex offenders register for the next seven years by a court here.
Manjit Singh Sidhu, from the city of Leicester, pawed the 14-year-old and told her he wanted to have sex with her, while she was flying home with classmates and schoolteachers from an educational trip on April 18 last year.
The man also engaged the teen in conversation about Bangkok's infamous red-light district, prostitutes, transsexuals and drugs during the Jet Airways flight from New Delhi to Heathrow, Leicester Mercury reported.
She said she did not want to continue the conversation and put on headphones to watch a film.
But she was interrupted later by Sidhu, who came stumbling down the aisle and perched himself on the armrest next to her.
"He tried to stroke my head and brushed my hair away and stroked my face and neck with his hand three or four times," she said. "I felt insecure and unable to say anything."
