A 33-year-old man has been charged for abusive sexual contact for allegedly fondling and licking a 17-year-old girl on a flight from Mexico City to Detroit.

According to court documents, Glenn Chase Dove was seated next to a 17-year-old girl (V-1) on a Delta Airlines flight. Dove would continually place his face "very close" to the girls and at one point bent over during the flight and licked her knee, according to court documents.

The situation reportedly escalated when Dove placed his hand on her breast. When the girl slapped his hand away, the man "laughed and stated that this was a joke" who then proceeded to stare at the girl for a couple of minutes, according to court documents.

He then squeezed her breast on "at least two additional occasions" prompting the girl to tell him to stop and that it wasn't funny.

"V-1 turned away from Dove to protect herself, but did not tell a flight attendant because she feared Dove would hurt her or someone else," documents read. "Victim 2 -- a twenty-four-year-old female -- was seated across the aisle from Dove in the same row as Dove and V-1.

"During the flight, V-2 stood up and left her seat for a moment. When she returned to her seat, Dove ran his hand up the outside of her leg."

Court documents state that two witnesses, in the same row as the two victims, saw Dove touch V-2's leg, and some of the aforementioned actions to the 17-year-old girl. One of the witnesses noticed that the girl was crying and sat with her until the plane landed in Detroit.

Dove is free on bail after posting a $10,000 unsecured bond. At this time, he does not have a court date set.
