Couple Arrested For Having Sex Mid-Air Inside Florida-Bound Flight In Front Of Two Children

Last Updated: Trista and Christopher were performing sexual acts mid-flight in their seats aboard a Florida-bound JetBlue flight. A couple from the US state of Connecticut was arrested after two children allegedly watched them perform sexual acts mid-flight in their seats inside a Florida-bound flight on Saturday. Danbury residents 43-year-old Trista L. Reilly and 42-year-old Christopher Drew Arnold were arrested after they exited the JetBlue flight which took off from New York and was headed to Sarasota, Florida, according to US-based news outlet WWSB. The mother of the children informed the flight attended that her children witnessed two other passengers engaging in sexual activity in their seats. Authorities told WWSB that the flight attendant was directed to the area where Reilly and Arnold were sitting and the attendant witnessed Reilly 'making up-and-down movements with her head while she was face down on Mr. Arnold's lap". In the witness, the mother of the children said that even after the couple realized the two children were watching 'they didn't stop", according to a separate report by the CT Post. The two children then confirmed their accusations and told authorities that they directly observed the sexual acts. The couple was arrested after the plane landed at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport around 11:30am Saturday morning (local time). Reilly and Christopher were charged with felony counts of lewd or lascivious exhibition in the presence of minors. Court records show they were released without bail and are due to be arraigned on August 15.
