California man pleads guilty to groping 2 women on JetBlue flight to Boston from Los Angeles
A California man described as “not all there” by one of his victims has pleaded guilty to groping two female passengers on a redeye flight from Los Angeles to Boston last year.
Jairaj Singh Dhillon, 43, of Modesto, Calif., pleaded guilty in federal court in Boston earlier this week to two counts of assault. District Court Magistrate Judge Paul G. Levenson scheduled sentencing — which could be prison for up to six months in prison — for June 14.
“This man just groped me,” the first victim said aboard the JetBlue aircraft, Flight 988, not too long after departing L.A. on its flight to Boston on May 31, 2022, according to an affidavit filed in the case.
Dhillon was seated in an aisle seat in row 22 next to this unidentified woman, who was sitting in the middle and tending to her infant child sitting in a car seat at the window seat. The victim would later tell police waiting at Boston Logan that Dhillon started by caressing her left upper thigh with the back and palm of his hand, which caused her to turn away but he just moved his hand up her leg.
Crew reseated Dhillon to an empty seat in the fourth row, according to the court doc, but that just gave him opportunity to then reach “out with both hands and” grab the second victim’s “groin and buttocks” as he got up to change seats.
This is a developing story.
