Woman faces jail after assaulting flight attendant

A 25-year old female executive is facing prison after sexually assaulting a male flight attendant and demanding sex while drunk on a flight to London Heathrow.

Katherine Goldberg, 25, from London, grabbed the cabin crew member's crotch after drinking a pint of whisky on a Virgin Atlantic flight from Joannesburg, South Africa, UK daily The Mail reported.

Goldberg pleaded guilty to sexual assault and being drunk on an aircraft at Uxbridge Magistrates Court and faces up to 10 years behind bars for the offence, after magistrates ruled that the case was too serious for them to deal with.

The educational supplies executive has now been bailed to return for sentencing at Isleworth Crown Court next month.

She had made “strong sexual advances” to the victim during the flight from Johannesburg, South Africa to London Heathrow on August 24, a court heard.
