William Clegg, 33, claimed he had 'Buy
Ambien No Rx conscious control' during the mid-air
ruckus on a transatlantic flight between San Jose
in the US and Heathrow
A west London banker has today been cleared of assaulting five BA cabin crew after taking a cocktail of alcohol
and sleeping pills.Â
William Clegg, 33, claimed he had 'no conscious control'
during the mid-air ruckus on a transatlantic flight between San Jose in the US
and Heathrow.
He told jury members he had taken two Cod Ambien sleeping pills, along with three glasses of wine and two travel-sized bottles of Baileys, prior to the
incident in August 2019.
While under the influence of the drugs and alcohol, Clegg allegedly assaulted five BA
cabin crew.
This included attempting to headbutt a female flight attendant, and
pulling a male flight attendant onto the ground, a court previously heard.
The banker, who lives in London's pricey Notting Hill, denied the allegations and has
been on trial at Isleworth Crown Court.
Today he was found not guilty on all counts after the jury
deliberated for just under an hour, following the four day trial.
Clegg gave a thumbs up to his friend's father in the public gallery
and broke down in tears as the not guilty verdicts were returned.
In a statement given outside court, he apologised for his actions and criticised prosecutors urging them
to 'review their handling of similar cases going
forward'.Â

Mr Clegg's defence was that his conduct on the BA flight was caused by combining alcohol with two Low Cost Ambien tablets -
the side effects of which he was unaware. |
