LADY FLASHER PLEADS GUILTY

She was said to have exposed herself, commented lewdly, and given an airline worker a black eye during a flight five years ago - and she's pleaded guilty to assault, Reuters says.

Traci Bell of Kennesaw, Georgia, pleaded in a case which occurred when she was 19 and flying America West to Phoenix from Atlanta.

Prosecutors say she "exposed herself to the crew and made numerous lewd comments, suggestions, and other loud disruptions directed at passengers and crew on the plane. When a flight attendant told Bell to calm down, they continued, she hit the flight attendant in the left eye and cheek, bruising her.

Reuters says Bell was arrested when the plane made an unscheduled landing at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

She faces sentencing 17 November.
