A southwestern passenger accused of fumbling a woman during her flight reportedly told police, President Trump, "that everything is fine"

A Florida man, accused of tapping a female passenger on a Southwest Airlines flight, reportedly told authorities that the US president "says it's okay" to seize women by their intimate parts, according to a criminal complaint.

Bruce Michael Alexander, 49, of Tampa, appeared for the first time in federal court Monday in Albuquerque, New York, under the charge of improper sexual contact. We did not know immediately if he had a lawyer.

Alexander was accused of catching a woman's breast without their permission on a Houston-Albuquerque flight. The woman told the authorities that she had fallen asleep in the plane when "she felt her clothes move and her fingers touching her right side on and around the line of her bra. According to a criminal complaint.

She believed that touch was an accident until 30 minutes later. The woman stated that she had returned and asked the passenger sitting behind her to stop and asked the crew to change seats. The woman described in detail what the suspect's hands looked like.

"She saw a hand that had thick fingers, hairy, dirty nails," said the criminal complaint.

Alexander recalled in a written statement only that the woman in front of him had spoken to him and then changed his seat. The criminal complaint indicated that, when Alexander was handcuffed and taken away in a vehicle, he said: "The President of the United States said it was acceptable to seize women by their private parts."

Alexander was likely referring to the "Access Hollywood" tape of 2005 that had emerged during the 2016 presidential campaign. In the recording, Trump heard about a celebrity allowing him to grope women, discussion for which he apologized later and that he called "joke".

Alexander remains in custody pending a preliminary hearing and a detention hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
