Drunken woman gropes female passenger on plane

A 27-year-old woman caused much trauma to a fellow female passenger by assaulting her on an Alaskan Airlines flight.

According to the details provided, Heidi McKinney was drunk when she got on board a flight which was headed from Las Vegas to Portland. She sat next to a 19-year-old woman in an empty row and started harassing her.

McKinney tried to force the girl to drink alcohol that she had smuggled on board and touched her breasts several times, leaving her hand on the woman’s chest. She then tried to force her hand between the teenager’s thigh, licked her ears and then straddled her, saying, ‘I want to f***’.

When the girl tried to push McKinney off and rejected her advances, she called her ‘poor’. The women were separated during the flight and then McKinney was arrested as soon as the plane landed.

The incident took place in May last year, and on Monday, McKinney was sentenced in Portland, Oregon. She had pleaded guilty to assault with intent to commit felony, which carried a maximum penalty of 10 years behind bars and a $250,000 fine.

In addition to home detention, McKinney was sentenced to three years on probation.

Prosecutors in Portland told the court the victim had been left permanently traumatised by the attack.

“Miss McKinney did so with the intent to humiliate and harass the victim. “[She] both made contact with victim’s body, including her inner thigh, and made a series of profane and lewd statements to the victim,” Assistant US Attorney Ravi Sinha said in March.

Meanwhile, McKinney’s fiancé later told reporters that she did not ‘metabolize alcohol’ and that ‘this is what happens when she drinks’.
