ABC News report:
A 23-year-old man featured in a video that went viral after he groped two flight attendants, punched a third, screamed his parents had $2 million and was duct taped to a seat of a Frontier Airlines flight was sentenced Tuesday to 60 days in jail followed by one year of supervised release.
Max Berry pleaded guilty to three counts of assault within maritime and territorial jurisdiction and faced 1.5 years and a $15,000 fine.
Berry had been drinking on a Frontier Airlines flight in August from Philadelphia to Miami when he spilled his drink on himself and a flight attendant. Berry went to the bathroom and came out without his shirt.
Heavy.com reports:
While walking around the cabin, Berry is accused of groping the breasts of another flight attendant before being told to not touch her and to sit down, police said.
Berry is also accused of grabbing her breasts a second time and also groping the breasts of the other flight attendant.
According to video and the police report, a male flight attendant then tried to get Berry to sit down, and Berry punched him with a closed fist. He was then restrained.
In a now-deleted tweet from that day, Berry wrote, “This will forever be the most dehumanizing experience in my entire life. Many people laughed and ridiculed me as I was mistreated by staff of a PROFESSIONAL airline. Just to make matters worth this has gone ‘viral’ on the internet and will never disappear. My life will never be the same.”
Two of the flight attendants gave victim impact statements about how this experience has affected them. After the hearing, both victims said the 60-day sentence was not enough, but better than nothing. https://t.co/MxYxjXamr8
