It’s so easy to not do this.

Seriously. You're going to jerk off, in public, on an airplane, post-9/11 when there is so much security, next to a minor? What thought process, if any, leads you to do this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

At least lock yourself in the bathroom, ffs.

How to masturbate on a plane (being next to a minor is optional)

Step 1: don't.

You're welcome.

Instructions unclear. Do I need a blanket?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Blanket are optional, just remember step 1.

If those are the liberties he takes on a public flight, just imagine what he does to his patience behind closed doors.

The doctor, identified by the United States Attorney's Office in the District of Massachusetts as Sudipta Mohanty, 33, was charged on Thursday. A criminal complaint charged him with one count of "lewd, indecent and obscene acts while in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States," which carries a punishment of up to 90 days in prison, up to one year of supervised release, and a fine of up to $5,000. Mohanty was arrested Thursday and released on conditions after an initial appearance in federal court in Boston.

According to the charging documents, Mohanty, an internal medicine and primary care doctor in Boston, was allegedly seated next to a 14-year-old girl on a flight from Honolulu to Boston on May 27, 2022. The flight was operated by Hawaiian Airlines. The teen was traveling with her grandparents, who were seated nearby.

Allegedly, Mohanty covered himself up to the neck with a blanket. The teen allegedly observed that his leg was bouncing up and down. Shortly after, the teenager observed that the blanket was on the floor and Mohanty was allegedly masturbating. After realizing what was going on, she moved herself to an empty seat in a different row, according to the charging documents.

I hope he gets into work and gets nicknames "The pedo Jerkoff doctor"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

"I have a 10:30 with Dr. Mohanty?"

"Oh, you're here to see Dr. Pedo. He's in the Jerkoff room and he'll be in to see you in a few minutes."

There's not much chance he'll keep his medical licence if convicted. Sex-offender doctors present too high a risk to patients.
