SEXUAL ASSAULT
Man Guilty of Attacking Girl on Flight
A Virginia man was convicted Thursday of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl on an airline flight, federal prosecutors said yesterday.
A U.S. District Court jury convicted Ryan D. Jennings, 24, of Mechanicsville, Va., of abusive sexual contact with a person younger than 16, said U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg.
Instead of sitting in his assigned seat on a Dec. 19 flight from San Diego to Dulles International Airport, the indictment and prosecutors said, Jennings sat next to the victim and assaulted her as she slept.
