FAIRFIELD COUNTY, CONNECTICUT, JUL 23 – Trista Reilly and Christopher Arnold face felony charges of lewd or lascivious exhibition after allegedly engaging in sexual acts in view of minors during a JetBlue flight, police said.

  • A couple from Danbury, Connecticut, identified as Trista Reilly, 43, and Christopher Arnold, 42, were taken into custody after their JetBlue flight arrived at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport on July 19, 2025.
  • Their arrest followed allegations that they engaged in sexual acts on the flight while two children and a mother witnessed the conduct, reported to a flight attendant during the New York to Florida trip.
  • Authorities state the flight attendant allegedly saw Reilly making up-and-down head movements while face down on Arnold's lap, and the couple reportedly continued despite knowing children were watching.
