The woman took photos. When McGarity fell asleep, she told the flight crew what happened. They moved her to another seat on the flight.
The woman turned the photos over to Phoenix police when the flight landed.
The FBI interviewed him and says he didn't think the female passenger was uncomfortable with him masturbating and he thought "it was kind of kinky."
McGarity is facing charges related to lewd, indecent, or obscene acts.
