A 74-year-old Florida man allegedly told an American Airlines flight attendant that he loved the scent of her perfume — and proceeded to grope her crotch.
Gary Matthew Sorichetti was arrested Thursday on federal charges of abusive sexual contact for his alleged behavior aboard a flight from Sarasota, Florida, to Charlotte, North Carolina, according to a probable cause complaint obtained by The Post.
The accused sicko — described as a “large man” assigned to seat 23C — stood up on the flight on Feb. 28, 2020, to allow a fellow passenger to take the window spot as the flight attendant, identified as SJ, opened the lavatory door to give him room to maneuver, the document states.
“As Sorichetti stood up, he backed up into SJ and multiple times stated, ‘Am I squishing you, are you squishing me?’ in a playful not concerned tone,” according to the complaint.
When he asked for a seatbelt extender, she told him that she could move him to another seat to give him more room once boarding was completed.
