Our thanks to Jeff for this. The end of the piece:

“The court heard Kostakopoulou, 43, who was of previous good character and had been working in the aviation industry for more than 20 years, resigned from her role as an air steward immediately after the incident occurred.

A magistrates’ bench fined the defendant £623, including a victim surcharge and legal costs, to be paid in monthly instalments, having found her remorse to be “genuine”.

Addressing the bench in court, Kostakopoulou said: “I feel very ashamed and embarrassed about everything that happened.

“I’m trying to amend my ways now and start a new job. I’m very sorry.” “

The headline should have read, “Woman apologises and holds herself accountable.”
