Actor Ralph Fiennes is accused of having sex in an aircraft lavatory with a stewardess, Lisa Robertson.

The Oscar-nominated star of The English Patient is said to have become ‘amorous’ with 38-year-old Lisa Robertson during a flight from Darwin, Australia to Mumbai, India.

Ms Robertson, who was a police officer before joining Australia’s national airline Qantas, has admitted in a statement to her employers that Fiennes followed her into a lavatory cubicle.

“While conversing with Mr Fiennes during my break, I expressed a need to go to the toilet,” Ms Robertson said in her statement.

“I went to the nearby toilet and entered it, he followed me and entered the same toilet.

“I explained to him that this was inappropriate and asked him to leave. Mr Fiennes became amorous towards me and, after a short period of time, I convinced him to leave the toilet, which he did.

“I left the toilet a short time later. At no time did any crew member come to my assistance.

“At no time were any other customers aware of this incident. At no time did I put the Qantas name or reputation in jeopardy.”
