A San Diego man who pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl while the two were passengers on a cross-country flight was sentenced Monday to two years in prison.

Ryan Coffey admitted in a plea agreement that he gave the teen rum and inappropriately touched the girl on a Jan. 7, 2023, American Airlines flight from Charlotte, NC, to San Diego.

Prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum that another passenger on the plane heard the girl tell Coffey — who was 31 at the time — that she was a minor.

“When she heard she was afraid of flying, she took a bottle of alcohol out of her bag and said it would help her relax,” prosecutors wrote. The girl later reported the abuse to a friend.

Coffey pleaded guilty earlier this year to one count of sexually abusing a minor on an airplane.
