Teacher fined after sexually assaulting stewardess on flight

An incident of sexual assault occurred aboard a Ryanair flight from Krakow, Poland, to Edinburgh on December 21. Sebastian Russo, a 39-year-old Italian science teacher residing in Glasgow, inappropriately touched a cabin crew member while she was attending to passengers. His lawyer stated that Russo had consumed alcohol during the flight and was 'inexplicably' motivated to commit this act. Upon being charged, Russo expressed deep remorse for his actions, which took place shortly before he was to visit his mother for the Christmas holidays. The Edinburgh sheriff court subsequently fined him £940 for his misconduct, underscoring the legal consequences of such behavior in confined public spaces.
