A 76-year-old Florida man is now facing charges after he reportedly exposed himself while on a flight.

The incident occurred on Friday, April 8th on a flight from Newark to Boston.

Officials say Donald Edward Robinson of Bonita Springs was seated next to a 21-year-old woman when he allegedly began touching himself through his pants shortly after take off.

The victim was able to take a 24-second video of Robinson as he continued to pleasure himself.

At one point during the flight, the victim says she looked back over and saw that Robinson had fully exposed himself.

He then placed his hand on the victim’s thigh without her permission.

The victim told police that she asked Robinson why he was touching her and that’s when Robinson quickly took his hand away and then began looking out of the window.

The victim then wrote a message on her phone to alert a nearby passenger of what was happening to her.

“Hi, this man assaulted me and touched my leg and is masturbating,” the message read.

Once the plane landed at the Boston Logan International Airport, the victim then got up to alert airline staff of what had just occurred, however, she could not identify him due to so many people getting off of the plane at the same time.

Security was eventually able to locate Robinson inside the airport by using security cameras.

Officials say they found Robinson walking towards the baggage claim area as he checked back to see if anyone was following him.

He has been arrested and charged with one count of lewd, indecent and obscene acts while in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States.
