revealed after a North Texas doctor was accused of groping a woman on an American Airlines flight last week – his third alleged offense in the last three years.
Cherian Abraham, 55, is accused of inappropriately touching a woman while on a flight from Chicago to Seattle on March 18, 2025, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
On Monday, Abraham was arrested following a federal investigation into allegations that he touched a woman’s breast without consent while traveling from Chicago to Seattle on American Airlines flight 2076.

Abraham was previously accused of groping two other women in separate incidents in 2023 and 2024, records show.
In April 2024, a woman reported that Abraham inappropriately touched her multiple times before placing his hands between her legs, after she repeatedly yelled at him to stop.
The first accusation took place in October 2023 after another woman reported that Abraham touched her leg three times before she told him to stop. The woman reported Abraham’s unwanted actions to a flight attendant, but did not press charges.
Charges have not been filed yet against Abraham, but according to an FBI complaint obtained by the Dallas Morning News, officials found “probable cause” that Abraham committed the offense of abusive sexual contact.
Abraham has since been released on appearance bond subject to several conditions, the outlet reported, which include certain travel restrictions and the surrender of any current or expired passports.
