A British Airways pilot has been arrested following serious allegations that he secretly recorded himself engaging in sexual encounters with 16 different women and subsequently distributed the footage online without their consent. The arrest comes after multiple alleged victims discovered videos of their private moments posted on obscure websites, sparking a police investigation.
Pattern of Deception Across Global Hotel Stays
The pilot is believed to have initiated relationships with women from various airlines during hotel stays between international flights. One woman, who claims she was targeted between 2023 and 2025, revealed to a friend that she was completely unaware of the recording until another victim brought it to her attention.
'I was being recorded during sexual encounters without my consent,' she stated. 'I didn't realise until another woman in the same position mentioned it to me. He would position his laptop with music playing but the screen turned off in front of us. Now, footage has gone out online and it has emerged he was doing this to 15 other women.'
Technical Concealment and Additional Allegations
According to reports, the pilot allegedly taped over the indicator light that shows when a laptop's camera is actively recording, effectively hiding the device's function. Another woman reportedly discovered multiple videos stored on his personal laptop.
In addition to the voyeurism allegations, the pilot was also reported to British Airways over claims of alleged cocaine use. British Airways sources confirm that the pilot has been suspended pending the outcome of the police investigation.
Official Responses and Investigation Status
The Metropolitan Police released a statement confirming: 'Officers arrested a 31-year-old man on Thursday, 5 March on suspicion of voyeurism. The arrest followed an allegation made to police on Tuesday, March 3, of videos being taken and distributed without consent. The man has been released on bail as enquiries continue.'
A spokesperson for the UK Civil Aviation Authority told The Sun: 'We can't comment on individual cases but reports of substance misuse are being reviewed and any appropriate action will be taken.' The Daily Mail has approached British Airways for further comment on the developing situation.
The case highlights significant concerns about privacy violations and the non-consensual distribution of intimate material, with authorities continuing their investigation into the pilot's alleged actions across multiple jurisdictions.
