One less creep is off the streets after actress Shalita Grant caught a man masturbating while aboard a United Airlines flight headed to Mexico.
According to a series of tweets Grant posted on her personal account, the confrontation occurred on Wednesday afternoon. The NCIS star included a video of her chastising a white man who had his hands down his pants.

“Sir, you have to stop that,” she told him. “That’s disgusting. You have to stop that. That stops!”
In addition to this gross violation, Grant claimed the captain of the aircraft “doesn’t want to report him, questioned whether it was even worth it based on if we spoke English or not.”
Despite the reluctance of the captain, the all-female crew wanted to help Grant hold the man accountable for masturbating mid-flight.
“The women attendants literally had to ask ‘what if this was your sister or your wife???’ In the name of @AnikaNoniRose, I will NOT let the male pilot be complicit in allowing a sex offender (who has CLEARLY done this b4 bc it took me yelling at him to stop) get away w/ this,” she wrote.
Grant followed the story all the way to Mexico City and eventually posted a full picture of the perp.
According to an update posted on Monday evening, the man was finally detained.
Update on the pervert: Alfredo Figurero 49yrs old from Guatemala. And based on how he did what he did/how he reacted this isn’t his first time. The authorities have detained him, it’s a 3 year charge. Still processing…

United Airlines intends to cooperate with the investigation, reported Travel Noire.
“United has zero-tolerance for this type of inappropriate behavior,” an airline spokesperson told the outlet. Our crew notified law enforcement officials to meet the flight upon arrival, and we will work with them in their review of the incident.”
United Airlines needs to do something about that shady pilot, too.
