Narrative:

Passenger seated in xxb. He was drinking continuously from first service to descent. Prior to incident, he maintained very polite courteous behavior. He showed no noticeable signs of intoxication. As I was picking up last remaining service items, I leaned over across seat xxb to pick up empty items on tray xxa. I noticed passenger had spilled red wine on his white polo shirt. He was wearing blue shorts. As I dropped garbage into trash bag, I noticed his scrotum and penis were completely exposed. I proceeded to walk forward towards front of aircraft. I went behind business class curtain divider, and entered galley and told flight attendant #4 the incident. He walked immediately to the passenger and had a conversation. He explained that was behavior inappropriate and not tolerated. I went to the back of the plane. Flight attendant #4 said that his genitals (the passenger) were still exposed when he talked to him. The flight attendant #1 then proceeded to have a conversation with him. Flight attendant #5 then walked down opposite aisle and once again genitals in plain view. United states air marshals met flight on request from the captain. The united states air marshals requested a formal complaint. The entire crew had to debrief after deplaning on plane. Interference with sterile procedures in cockpit. Interference with cabin preparations for secure landing. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated that the crew was unaware of how much the man was drinking on the 6 1/2 hour flight, because each of the 2 flight attendants working on that aisle, thought that they were the only ones serving him wine. The man was wearing shorts, and that, when she observed his genitals hanging out, it was because he had lifted his shorts up, so the genitals would be exposed. This he did deliberately. The man had his whole row to himself, however, there was a family with small children sitting across the aisle from him. The 'interference with sterile procedures in cockpit' in the narrative was in reference to the fact that they had to call the captain during the 'sterile cockpit' period to have him call for the federal air marshals. The 'interference with cabin preparation for secure landing' reference was due to the fact that all this was happening during the time of descent, approximately 25 mins from landing. The cabin crew had all their energy focused on this man, instead of doing the routine safety checks for landing, which they almost got completed by the time they landed. She did not know what happened to the man after he was escorted off the plane by the federal air marshals.

AS I WAS PICKING UP LAST REMAINING SVC ITEMS, I LEANED OVER ACROSS SEAT XXB TO PICK UP EMPTY ITEMS ON TRAY XXA. I NOTICED PAX HAD SPILLED RED WINE ON HIS WHITE POLO SHIRT. HE WAS WEARING BLUE SHORTS. AS I DROPPED GARBAGE INTO TRASH BAG, I NOTICED HIS SCROTUM AND PENIS WERE COMPLETELY EXPOSED. I PROCEEDED TO WALK FORWARD TOWARDS FRONT OF ACFT. I WENT BEHIND BUSINESS CLASS CURTAIN DIVIDER, AND ENTERED GALLEY AND TOLD FLT ATTENDANT #4 THE INCIDENT. HE WALKED IMMEDIATELY TO THE PAX AND HAD A CONVERSATION. HE EXPLAINED THAT WAS BEHAVIOR INAPPROPRIATE AND NOT TOLERATED. I WENT TO THE BACK OF THE PLANE. FLT ATTENDANT #4 SAID THAT HIS GENITALS (THE PAX) WERE STILL EXPOSED WHEN HE TALKED TO HIM. THE FLT ATTENDANT #1 THEN PROCEEDED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HIM. FLT ATTENDANT #5 THEN WALKED DOWN OPPOSITE AISLE AND ONCE AGAIN GENITALS IN PLAIN VIEW. UNITED STATES AIR MARSHALS MET FLT ON REQUEST FROM THE CAPT. THE UNITED STATES AIR MARSHALS REQUESTED A FORMAL COMPLAINT. THE ENTIRE CREW HAD TO DEBRIEF AFTER DEPLANING ON PLANE. INTERFERENCE WITH STERILE PROCS IN COCKPIT. INTERFERENCE WITH CABIN PREPARATIONS FOR SECURE LNDG. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THAT THE CREW WAS UNAWARE OF HOW MUCH THE MAN WAS DRINKING ON THE 6 1/2 HR FLT, BECAUSE EACH OF THE 2 FLT ATTENDANTS WORKING ON THAT AISLE, THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE THE ONLY ONES SERVING HIM WINE. THE MAN WAS WEARING SHORTS, AND THAT, WHEN SHE OBSERVED HIS GENITALS HANGING OUT, IT WAS BECAUSE HE HAD LIFTED HIS SHORTS UP, SO THE GENITALS WOULD BE EXPOSED. THIS HE DID DELIBERATELY. THE MAN HAD HIS WHOLE ROW TO HIMSELF, HOWEVER, THERE WAS A FAMILY WITH SMALL CHILDREN SITTING ACROSS THE AISLE FROM HIM. THE 'INTERFERENCE WITH STERILE PROCS IN COCKPIT' IN THE NARRATIVE WAS IN REF TO THE FACT THAT THEY HAD TO CALL THE CAPT DURING THE 'STERILE COCKPIT' PERIOD TO HAVE HIM CALL FOR THE FEDERAL AIR MARSHALS. THE 'INTERFERENCE WITH CABIN PREPARATION FOR SECURE LNDG' REF WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT ALL THIS WAS HAPPENING DURING THE TIME OF DSCNT, APPROX 25 MINS FROM LNDG. THE CABIN CREW HAD ALL THEIR ENERGY FOCUSED ON THIS MAN, INSTEAD OF DOING THE ROUTINE SAFETY CHKS FOR LNDG, WHICH THEY ALMOST GOT COMPLETED BY THE TIME THEY LANDED. SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MAN AFTER HE WAS ESCORTED OFF THE PLANE BY THE FEDERAL AIR MARSHALS.
