A New Jersey man was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a sleeping woman on Continental's Hong Kong-to-Newark flight last week. The AP reports, "Authorities say [Ramesh] Advani reached under her blanket and sexually abused her... Two passengers seated behind the pair observed what was happening and kicked the woman's seat to wake her. The woman awoke and alerted the flight crew." The 63-year-old Berkeley Heights resident was detained by FBI agents when the flight landed last Friday and charged with abusive sexual conduct.
