A gay flight attendant who was accused of performing oral sex on a passenger during a Virgin Australia flight has been awarded $20,000 for wrongful dismissal. The flight attendant was accused after colleagues claimed they heard “strange or slurping sounds” coming from the aircraft’s rear galley during a flight. Flight attendants became suspicious after reportedly hearing the strange sounds, as well as claiming they caught the man “in the act,” the employment authority said.
The attendant was then reportedly suspended for two weeks without being given a chance to respond, and was later fired. The judge said, “Clearly he was in a situation, behind curtains with a passenger for an extended period, which could raise questions but questions are not enough.” The judge ruled that the sex act allegation was ‘not substantiated,’ and awarded him $20,000 in damages.
