Socialite cleared of drunken romp on flight

A SOCIALITE accused of letting a stranger fondle her breasts during a flight was yesterday cleared of being drunk on board an aircraft.

Clare Irby, a descendant of the Guinness brewing family, was accused of drinking up to 12 glasses of red wine on the flight from Bangalore, India, to London’s Heathrow Airport on March 26.

But the jury at Isleworth Crown Court, west London, took just 40 minutes to unanimously find her not guilty of being drunk on board an aircraft.
