ANA pilot sentenced to 20 months for groping flight attendant

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A pilot for All Nippon Airways, Ryota Mise, has been sentenced to 20 months in prison in Japan for sexually assaulting a female flight attendant. The incident occurred in October 2023 in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, where Mise, a captain, took advantage of his authority to grope the victim. Despite the defense arguing the victim had sent an approving message, the Tokyo District Court found Mise guilty, stating he acted in a "mean and persistent manner" and failed to show remorse or mitigate the victim's suffering.
