A Connecticut couple is facing charges after allegedly performing sexual acts aboard a JetBlue flight in front of a horrified mother and her two young children.
Trista L. Reilly, 43, and Christopher D. Arnold, 42, of Danbury, were arrested Saturday upon arrival at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport.
They have each been charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious exhibition, a felony.
The disturbing incident unfolded on JetBlue Flight 163 from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York to Sarasota.
According to court documents, a flight attendant was alerted by a mother who reported that Reilly and Arnold were engaged in lewd acts in full view of her children.
An affidavit states that after being notified, the flight attendant observed Reilly ‘making up and down movements with her head while she was facedown on Mr. Arnold’s lap’.
