Deputy U.S. Marshal Arrested After Alleged Sex Abuse on Flight to London

A deputy U.S. marshal was arrested in the U.K. this week after allegedly sexually abusing a woman on board a flight from New York to London, authorities say.

The unnamed federal agent was one of two deputies who had traveled to the British capital in order to bring a person suspected of a crime back to the U.S., sources told NBC New York. Both marshals had allegedly been drinking, with a woman reportedly complaining to flight crew that she had been inappropriately touched at some point during the flight.
