Narrative:
Flight attendant #1 reported passenger in seat X had taken her clothes off and she and passenger in seat Y were engaged in sexual activity. I approached the passenger and told the man in seat Y that their behavior was unacceptable and they must refrain. I returned to the business class galley and seat Z (lady) requested that we please stop the couple from their sexual activity, as it was causing her distress. I reported the couple to the purser and she spoke to couple also about their sexual activity. They did not stop and continued until breakfast service was presented and light was emitted into the cabin. Passenger seat X put her clothes on just prior to lighting in cabin. I observed passenger seat X sitting in seat in bra and panties. She was masturbating in seat and passenger seat Y was manipulating her and putting his hands in her panties and on her exposed breasts. They were kissing and writhing in their seats. Purser repeatedly asked seat X and Y to stop their persistent sexual activity and they would not. She told the crew security would meet the flight. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the couple didn't start their sexual activity until after desert was served, and not the whole trip, as it said in her original narrative. This was about 4 hours from manchester, england. The couple would not stop their sexual activity after repeated requests from the crew and the purser. The pilots would not come out of the cockpit for fear of being slugged. The woman took all her clothes off, except for her bra and panties. She would not put her clothes back on, when ordered to by the crew, and in fact, became quite loud and profane when asked. She slung her legs over the seat in front of her. She was performing fellatio on the man and masturbating both of them. At one point, one of the complaining passenger was a 65 yr old woman on her first flight, who asked if this was a regular occurrence on flts! The reporter strongly feels that alcohol was not a factor, because they didn't have that much to drink, and they both got completely dressed for landing, and she had replenished her makeup and hair. The manchester police arrested the woman first, because she put up a loud and profane fight. They then decided to arrest the man. The police have called the reporter at home for her statement and are meeting her flight to gatwick at the end of the month to take her statement in person. She says they seem adamant in pursuing prosecution of the couple.
