A Manhattan dad flying back to NYC with his 12-year-old son has been accused of groping a sleeping female passenger last year. According to recently unsealed documents obtained by The Smoking Gun, Upper East Sider Brett Zorse, 50, put his hand under the skirt of the woman on a JetBlue flight last April from San Francisco to JFK. The 32-year-old woman said he offered up this defense at the time: “It’s not like I molested you. It’s not like I stuck my finger in your pussy or grabbed your tits.”
Zorse followed up that statement by noting, “I wouldn’t mind a massage right now.” Zorse was sitting in between his 12-year-old and the woman, who was on the aisle. The woman told investigators that Zorse’s “conversations throughout the flight all turned to a sexual nature” and that he was very “touchy feely." At one point during the flight, when the woman offered to get something from the overhead compartment for Zorse so he wouldn't have to reach over her, he said, “I’d really like to climb all over you.”
Zorse has been charged with simple assault and faces up to six months in jail if convicted of the misdemeanor. Zorse told investigators that he thought the woman was “flirting with him,” and claimed that she told him that “he was attractive and he was a good father.” He also admitted placing his hand on the woman’s leg for “approximately 30 seconds." We're just a bit surprised he didn't blame it on blood sugar, or temporary insanity.
