In 2025, the Offender Database recorded that Bradley Fisher, of Enfield in Middlesex, was sentenced for a serious incident involving an airline crew member. On 4 September 2025, Fisher appeared at Lewes Crown Court, East Sussex, for sentencing after pleading guilty to sexual assault and being drunk on an aircraft.
The investigation established that the offences occurred during an EasyJet flight. Fisher sexually assaulted a female air hostess while in an intoxicated state. Under Section 1 of the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 1992, the complainant is entitled to lifelong anonymity, and no details that could lead to her identification may be published. Sussex Police conducted the inquiry following the aircraft’s arrival and the airline staff’s subsequent report.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Fisher’s behaviour was aggravated by his level of intoxication while on board the aircraft. The judge noted that sexual assault against staff members performing their duties in a confined environment like an aeroplane is a significant violation. The prosecution stated that the defendant’s actions caused considerable distress to the victim and disrupted the flight’s safety and order.
The judge noted that while the custodial threshold was met, the sentence could be suspended provided the defendant complied with strict rehabilitative and punitive requirements. For his actions in the Sussex area jurisdiction, the court determined that Fisher required immediate monitoring of his alcohol consumption and a significant contribution to the community through unpaid work. The prosecution noted that the investigation relied on the testimonies of the crew and passengers who witnessed the defendant’s state and actions.
Sentence and Statutory Requirements
For his crimes in England, Bradley Fisher was handed:
- Custodial Sentence: 4 months’ imprisonment, suspended for 2 years.
- Unpaid Work: 200 hours of community service.
- Rehabilitation: 20-day rehabilitation activity requirement.
- Monitoring: 60 days of alcohol abstinence monitoring.
- Sex Offenders Register: Notification requirements were activated for 7 years.
- Financial Penalty: Ordered to pay a compensation payment to the victim.
Monitoring and Public Protection
Fisher is managed by the Probation Service and Sussex Police. Due to the nature of the sexual assault in Sussex, his management is subject to oversight by the Public Protection Unit to ensure compliance with his registration requirements.
As a member of the Sex Offenders Register, Fisher must comply with notification requirements regarding his residence in Middlesex for the next seven years. Authorities state that the alcohol abstinence monitoring is a vital component of his sentence to prevent future offending. Any breach of his registration conditions, failure to complete his unpaid work, or a positive result during alcohol monitoring will result in immediate arrest and the potential activation of his four-month prison sentence.
