NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — Air travel is tough enough without having to worry about bad behavior from fellow passengers.

A North Bergen man is accused of sexually abusing a woman who fell asleep during a five-hour United Airlines flight from Phoenix to Newark Liberty Airport.

Bawer Aksal, 48, was arrested Tuesday when the plane landed.

According to prosecutors, Aksal was seated next to a woman who had the window seat. They didn’t know each other.

At one point during the flight, prosecutors said the woman fell asleep. When she woke up, prosecutors said Aksal had one hand in her shorts and another in her shirt.

According to the FBI complaint, Aksal, who was breathing heavy whispered to the victim “Kiss me.”

She should have whacked him below the belt!

the needle just snapped off my creep-ometer seriously, that's shudder-worthy.

There's a serious poetic-justice potential here, wherein Aksal and a large inmate reenact the situation, but the inmate is the one fondling and whispering "kiss me..."

Gross! I’d have kissed him alright......and puked on him! Pig!

So what? She probably submitted to TSA without complaint...maybe he thought she was easy...

This is, at a minimum, criminal or sexual assault. It might be rape if his finger penetrated, and also attempted rape if not. This guy needs to be Bubba’s beotch for a while.

[bcsco]

Ah, he wouldn’t be a member of the ROP would he?

An armed passenger compartment is a polite passenger compartment.

—If convicted of the sexual abuse charge, Aksal could face life in prison and a $250,000 fine. He’s been ordered held without bail as a possible flight risk.—

Wait. LIFE IN PRISON?!

WTF?!

He groped her. That has to be a typo.

One of the funniest things I’ve read all day.

Actually, all female airline passengers are easy. The LaRouche people took a poll.

Spare me from being surrounded by armed Americans. A HUGE percentage are clearly idiots.

[cuban leaf]

I was joking. Sheesh. ;-)

Flying would be more “fun” though. :-)

[TexasCajun]

Maybe he mistook the woman for Sandra Fluke?

[ApplegateRanch]

According to the complaint, Aksal was interviewed by law enforcement officers when the plane landed and read his rights. Nonetheless, according to the complaint, Aksal admitted groping the woman, but claimed it was consensual.

Of course it was consensual. She is, after all, a slut-prostitute; otherwise, she would have had her face bagged and been wearing a proper burkha. He naturally intended to pay her afterward for her services, as a man can't be too careful: only a fool pays in advance. (Do I really needd to add the /S for this?)

Didn’t know Al Franken flew United.

(Reference to a thread I just read on Franken joking about raping Leslie Stahl, FYI)

Name sounds Amish...

Good thing she hadn’t popped an Ambien for the flight, or she may not have woken up and caught him.
