Man sentenced to 8 months for groping teen on flight from Paris to Seattle, feds say

A Seattle man was sentenced to eight months in prison for groping a teen girl on a flight from Paris to Washington state in 2022, federal prosecutors said.

A Seattle man was sentenced to eight months in prison for groping a teen girl on a flight from Paris to Washington state in 2022, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.

Milan Edward Jurkovic, 36, was convicted in December of abusive sexual contact after a three-day jury trial, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington said in a statement.

Court documents show Jurkovic pleaded not guilty.

At the sentencing hearing, U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik said the assault “shouldn’t have happened,” prosecutors said.

“The flight back should have been nothing less than the end of a joyous trip and instead she is the victim of a crime,” Lasnik said of the girl.
