Man jailed for urinating on woman during flight

HONOLULU — A 28-year-old man has been sentenced to three weeks in jail for urinating on a 66-year-old woman during a Continental Airlines flight last month from Los Angeles to Honolulu.

Jerome Kenneth Kingzio, a resident of the US Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, was sentenced after pleading guilty Tuesday to assault charges in federal court in Honolulu.

The victim was headed to Hawaii on March 21 for a scuba diving vacation and was watching an in-flight movie when Kingzio stood up and began urinating on her. He had been drinking on the flight.

US Attorney Edward Kubo Jr. says the woman said her entire vacation ruined, and she continues to suffer emotionally from the incident.

The case was investigated by the FBI. - AP
