California man, 51, is arrested for 'sexually assaulting girl under 16 on flight from LA to Orlando, groping woman who came to her rescue - and then blaming it on Ambien'
Brian Patrick Durning, 51, is accused of sexually assaulting an underage girl on a Delta flight last week
The plane was an overnight flight from LAX to Orlando International
Durning, of Altadena in Los Angeles County, sat in an aisle seat to the left of the minor, who is unidentified and referred to as M.V. (Minor Victim) in legal records
The girl's mother was sitting two rows ahead of her daughter and Durning's row due to 'reservation issues'
Durning touched the victim's hair and neck before slowly moving his hand up her inner thigh
A woman who was asleep next to the victim saw Durning remove his hand from the girl's thigh as soon as she woke up
Durning then touched the woman's breasts and also had his pants unzipped
He was taken into questioning upon arrival and confessed to have consumed white wine and beer before taking an Ambien pill
He has been banned from ever flying Delta again and currently awaits trial
