A South Florida man is facing charges after he allegedly masturbated on a flight to Boston on Friday.

According to the Massachusetts Department of Justice, 76-year-old Donald Edward Robinson was arrested at Boston Logan International Airport after he was accused of exposing himself to a 21-year-old woman seated next to him on his flight.

Robinson allegedly pulled out his penis and started masturbating next to the woman before putting his hand on her thigh.

The victim recorded a 24-second video showing Robinson ‘fondling’ himself before he exposed his genitals and touched her.

Investigators say the victim asked Robinson why he was touching her. Robinson removed his hand and looked out the window.

In an attempt to get help, the victim typed out a message on her phone and showed another passenger that read ”Hi, this man assaulted me and touched my leg and is masturbating.”

Robinson was arrested on a charge of lewd, indecent, and obscene acts while in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States. 

The 76-year-old could face up to 90 days in prison and up to one year of supervised release along with a $5,000 fine.
