A woman flying from Houston to Albuquerque on Sunday had just settled into her seat and fallen asleep when she was awoken by an unwanted touch — a hand from behind her grabbing the right side of her breast. And the man authorities say is responsible allegedly cited President Trump’s past lewd language about women.
Federal prosecutors allege that the hand belonged to 49-year-old Bruce Michael Alexander from Tampa, another passenger on the Southwest Airlines flight, who reportedly told authorities after being arrested Sunday that “the President of the United States says it’s ok to grab women by their private parts,” according to a criminal complaint.
Alexander was charged Monday with abusive sexual contact, according to a news release from the U.S. attorney’s office in New Mexico. The charge carries a maximum penalty of two years in jail and a $250,000 fine. A lawyer representing Alexander could not be reached for comment late Monday.
It all began about 15 to 20 minutes after Southwest Airlines Flight 5421 left Houston on Sunday. The woman, identified in the complaint only as C.W., said she was asleep in her window seat when “she felt her clothes move” and fingers start touching her from behind “on her right side at and around her ‘bra line.’ ”
Though she initially assumed “the touching was an accident,” it happened again about 30 minutes later.

Sounds more like Al Fraken
250 large and 2 years in the cooler...pretty harsh for copping a feel.
Florida Man.
Obviously a Democrat pervert.
Just another made up “news” story in time for the elections. Gosh, these reporters have such imaginations. Expect more.
At least there was no “Wayne” In there.
He said ... if you are a celebrity, they LET you. He never said that he did it and he was repeatedly egged on by Billy Bush to get more and more outrageous in his comments. I hope Billy Bush is rotting somewhere.
He should have invoked Bull Clinton.
That way he might have gotten a BJ out of it.
The victim should sue the washington compost for encouraging sexual assault by mischaraterising what Trump said and then admitting that it led to her assault. Series.
They’ve been repeating this on NPR all day.
The idea is to make the punishment harsh enough to discourage that kind of behavior, and make it safer for women.
Thank you. I have posted that info until I am blue in the face. I’m glad to hear from another person injecting some factual info.
He should have invoked Bill Clinton, who actually did grope women. And raped them to.
All democrats aren't stupid, evil, traitorous, perverted sexual predators...
But, that's the way to bet.
Trump’s fault. Trump made him do it.
Same excuse the organizers of the Central-American caravan organizers use: It’s Trump’s fault!
Wonder how many other criminals will start using that excuse. Democrats have been using that excuse for 2 years, so, why not the common criminal?
You’re welcome. It’s frustrating that people keep lying about what he said.
I wonder how much he got paid to do it...
