SAN FRANCISCO, July 29 (V7N) – A Delta Air Lines pilot, identified as 34-year-old Rustom Bhagwagar, was arrested and taken into custody after landing at San Francisco International Airport, facing serious criminal charges related to sexual assault of a minor.
 
Bhagwagar was booked on five counts of oral copulation with a child under ten years of age, according to a statement from the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office, which was provided to USA TODAY on July 28.
