Narrative:
During the landing phase, a passenger sitting in row X stood up at his seat. I went to his seat and told him to situation down and fasten seatbelt. He cussed at me and refused to comply. He seemed intoxicated and incoherent. After I came back to my jump seat, flight attendant #3 told me that a passenger sitting next to him had told her that he (the man) molested her, by touching her under her skirt. Flight attendant #3 moved her to first class during the flight. He was talking to himself loudly and incoherently most of the flight. After landing, I told captain about the incident and he arranged for auths to meet the flight. The captain told me afterward, that the passenger had in his possession 1/3 of an empty vodka bottle and smelled of alcohol. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated that the man was still standing up for landing when she went back to her jump seat, but may have sat down after she left the scene. The man had allegedly touched the girl, sitting next to him, a lot earlier in the flight, and the reporter only heard about it on landing when she sat down in the same jump seat as the flight attendant who had moved the girl to first class. The auths, who met the flight, interviewed the passenger witnesses, who were sitting behind the man and the girl (that he allegedly molested). She doesn't know what happened to him after that.
