A Modesto, California man who pleaded guilty in March to federal charges of assaulting two women during a 2022 cross-country flight was sentenced to a year’s probation late last week.
Jairaj Singh Dhillon, 43, was sentenced on June 15 by U.S. District Court Judge Paul G. Levenson to one year of probation, with a requirement to serve the first six months under house arrest.
Dhillon pleaded guilty on March 20 to two counts of assault in United States Special Aircraft Jurisdiction.
On May 31, 2022, Dhillon was boarding an overnight flight between Los Angeles and Boston when he engaged in “unwanted sexual contact” with two female passengers, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Massachusetts.

Dhillon was sitting next to a woman tending to her small child when he reached out and touched her thigh and groin area.
The victim called for help and said in a loud voice, “This man just groped me,” the prosecutor’s press release said.

The second victim sat in the aisle seat across from Dhillon and accused him of grabbing her groin and buttocks while she stood next to her seat.
Flight attendants took care of the situation and moved Dhillon to another part of the plane for the rest of the flight.
When the plane arrived in Boston, he was immediately taken into custody.
