international flight to JFK Airport dodged prison time \u2014 thanks to a lenient federal judge.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Katz, 36, was sentenced last week to one year of probation \u2014 including three months of unmonitored home detention \u2014 and 75 hours of community service for the creepy 2018 sky-high molestation of the 25-year-old woman, according to federal court records. <\/p>\n<p>Federal prosecutors had asked US District Judge Frederic Block to throw Katz behind bars for up to 21 months after his June 2021 jury conviction on charges of abusive sexual contact and a misdemeanor assault count \u2014 but the judge instead gave the convict a slap on the wrist.<\/p>\n<p>Katz \u2014 who said he was a volunteer at an upstate children\u2019s summer camp and twice taught at schools in South Korea \u2014 must also register as a sex offender, Block ruled on Friday. <\/p>\n<p>The victim, identified in court records as \u201cGina,\u201d was sitting next to Katz aboard Etihad Airways Flt. 103 on Feb. 23, 2018, flying from Abu Dhabi to New York.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\"
