Former TSA agent convicted of misleading woman to show breasts at LAX

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – A former transportation safety agent accused of cheating on a traveler by showing off her breasts as she passed through security at Los Angeles International Airport did not protest.

Johnathon Lomeli pleaded guilty to one count and was sentenced to 60 days in prison, 52 classes that addressed sexual coercion and a two-year probation, the California Attorney General’s Office announced.

Lomeli was also banned from working as a security guard.

Lomeli was charged with using fraud or deception to falsely arrest the woman in June 2019.

The woman told investigators that Lomeli told her to look inside her bra to make sure she was not hiding anything, that she should keep her pants off her waist for a check, and then he said that he would take her to a private room for further. prosecutors said.

But when they were alone in an elevator, Lomeli told the woman that he could do the show there, and ordered her to lift her shirt and show her breasts. Then she looked down at her pants.

Lomeli then told the woman she was free to go and added that she had nice breasts, authorities said.
