Ranchhodbhai Lakha, 61, faces charges of assault and abusive sexual contact for the Sept. 28 incident on a Delta Air Lines flight from Dallas to Atlanta, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.

A 20-year-old woman seated in the same row as Lakha fell asleep and woke up to find the man allegedly touching her below the waist, according to U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates. The woman removed his hand but Lakha allegedly touched her again, prompting the woman to get up from her seat and report the incident to a flight attendant, Yates said.

1. I had a 350 lb Korean man do that to me in HIS sleep on a flight to Europe

I didn't consider pressing charges, but it was upsetting.

3. The worst part was the Kimchee.

Seriously. But I put part of the blame on the airlines. Everyone is in everyone else's lap, so there's bound to be trouble.

What did they serve on the fruit platter, durian?
