Ryanair Passenger Gets Suspended Sentence for Shouting Homophobic Abuse
A Ryanair flight was thrown into chaos when a passenger locked himself in the plane toilet and hurled homophobic slurs at cabin crew. The offender, Gerard Moorehouse, 45, now faces a suspended sentence.
Flight Delayed Over Passenger’s Abuse and Lockdown
Dublin District Court heard how Moorehouse’s stunt delayed the plane’s landing to the Irish capital by several minutes. His actions put onboard safety at risk, causing unnecessary alarm for staff and passengers alike.
Guilty of Threatening Behaviour
Moorehouse was found guilty of threatening, abusive, or insulting behaviour on an aircraft. The court handed down a three-month suspended sentence and slapped him with a €1,500 fine.
His offensive outburst highlights the ongoing issue of disruptive passengers on flights, showing zero tolerance for hate speech and disturbance in the skies.
