<\/p>\nA man who sexually assaulted two women on a plane from Toronto to Manchester was sentenced at Manchester Magistrates' Court yesterday. <\/p>\n
Jagtar Singh Sandhu, 55, from Wolverhampton, assaulted the women on an overnight flight from Monday 15 to Tuesday 16 August 2016.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sandhu, sitting behind two women, began harassing them, relentlessly asking them questions including what films they were watching and where they were from. <\/p>\n
After making several requests to sit next to them, Sandhu finally attempted to unbuckle one of the women’s safety belts. <\/p>\n
Both women fell asleep during the flight, only to be woken a short time later to Sandhu sexually assaulting them both. The women were able to push the attacker away, shouting at him to raise attention. <\/p>\n
Sandhu was arrested the following week and taken to Cheadle Heath Police Station where he denied sexually assaulting the women. <\/p>\n
He was sentenced yesterday, Wednesday 5 April, to one year in prison and will remain on the Sexual Offenders’ Register for 10 years. <\/p>\n
Detective constable Andy Kettle<\/strong> of GMP’s Manchester Airport Team, said: “The two women were extremely petrified after Sandhu so brazenly assaulted them in a confined space with nowhere for them to escape him.<\/p>\n “Despite denying attacking the women as they slept, Sandhu was found guilty at an earlier hearing and was today jailed for his disturbing actions that night.”<\/p>\n Greater Manchester is nationally recognised as a model of good practice in terms of support services available to victims.
