UES dad busted for groping sleeping woman on JetBlue flight

An Upper East Side father groped a woman sleeping on a New York-bound JetBlue flight — then defended the creepy move by claiming, “it’s not like I molested you,” according to a news Web site.

Brett Zorse, 50, was seated next to his 12-year-old son on a flight from San Francisco in April when he allegedly slid his hand up the napping woman’s skirt, the Smoking Gun reported Friday.

Cops say the 32-year-old woman demanded to know what he was doing — prompting Zorse to explain, “It’s not like I stuck my finger in your [genitals].”

The victim allegedly told police Zorse also made off-color comments about wanting a massage after take-off.

Zorse was charged with assault in May. He allegedly told cops the woman was flirting with him.
