A couple have been arrested after allegedly being caught in a public sexual act on a passenger plane, witnessed by two children.
Trista L Reilly, 43, and Christopher Drew Arnold, 42, were arrested following their flight from John F Kennedy International Airport in New York to Sarasota, Florida.
According to court documents, Reilly was spotted "making up-and-down movements with her head while she was face down on Mr Arnold's lap" by a cabin crew member who had been alerted to the situation.
The JetBlue flight attendant was approached at 10.28am on July 19 by a concerned mother travelling with her two children, who could see what was unfolding on the flight.
The children reportedly saw Reilly and Arnold, both from Connecticut, engaged in the act.
The pair were arrested at 11.30am, shortly after the plane landed at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, as reported by ABC affiliate WWSB.
Both were charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious exhibition in the presence of minors, a felony offence. They were released without bail and are due to appear in court on August 15.
The New York Post reports that police records from Danbury, Connecticut, show Arnold was arrested in March for disorderly conduct and assault.
JetBlue told the Mirror that the alleged conduct was "completely unacceptable" and is "not tolerated" by the carrier.
The firm stated: "Immediately upon receiving the report, our crewmembers acted swiftly to engage JetBlue's security team and law enforcement.
"We are fully cooperating with the investigation and these customers are no longer welcome to fly JetBlue."
