Former Qantas flight attendant found guilty of exposing self to colleague, fined $12G
Fox News
A senior flight attendant formerly employed with Qantas Airways has been found guilty of exposing himself to a young, female colleague during an April 2019 flight and fined $12,000 for the indecency.
The lewd incident occurred on a flight from Perth to Melbourne, when Vatovec, 54, and the junior flight attendant, 21, were taking a designated break in the rear of the cabin, concealed by a curtain. The two had not met before the cross-country flight, during which Vatovec was working as a team leader for the economy class. While seated, the woman testified that "Vatovec touched her breast, unzipped his trousers and showed her his genitalia," according to ABC News. The man admitted to committing the acts, but alleged that his colleague repeatedly made sexually explicit comments which he interpreted as "a come-on." Vatovec also said that his actions were caused by a "chemical imbalance" at the time.More Related News
