Jonathan Alan Lefman, a 46-year-old man from Newton, has been charged with abusive sexual conduct after allegedly groping a 17-year-old girl on a JetBlue flight. The incident occurred on August 30, 2024, during a flight from Puerto Rico to Boston. Prosecutors claim that he touched the girl multiple times without her consent, even while waiting to deplane. The abuse was documented by the girl using her smartphone, leading to his arrest after the flight. An adult family member reported the incident to a JetBlue supervisor.
"Specifically, it is alleged that Lefman intentionally worked his hand in between and through the area between the back and bottom of the seat directly in front of him, where the minor victim was seated, and touched the minor victim's buttocks without her permission."
"On at least one occasion when he did so, the minor victim saw his reflection leaning between the seats in the seatback monitor in front of her."
"The woman also showed Lefman the video of his fingers popping out between the seats, prosecutors said."
