A Catholic priest has been jailed for sexually assaulting a female passenger as she slept on a US cross-country flight.

Father Marcelo De Jesumaria, from Lake Arrowhead, California, was sentenced to six months in prison and six months of home detention for abusive sexual contact.

The 46-year-old targeted the woman on a US Airways flight from Philadelphia to Los Angeles in August 2014.

The court heard that De Jesumaria asked a flight attendant if he could “sit next to his wife” and then moved to the last row of the plane beside the sleeping victim.

She alerted crew members after waking to find De Jesumaria’s hand on top of her left leg near her groin.
