Millionaire trader and children's charity boss who had midair sex with 15-year-old girl in his plane while it was on autopilot faces jail




A New Jersey millionaire is possibly heading to jail after he engaged in sexual acts with a 15-year-old girl for months, including once on his private plane which he put on autopilot mode, according to a federal complaint.
Stephen Bradley Mell will be sentenced Tuesday, facing the possibility of five years in federal prison and five years of supervised release after he pleaded guilty in December 2018 to charges of engaging in interstate travel to engage in illicit sexual conduct and receiving child pornography.

The criminal complaint against the 53-year-old Bedminster resident, detailing his illicit relationship with the minor, was obtained by the Bridgewater Courier News and reported Sunday.

Mell, who served as the president of the brokerage firm W.H. Mell Associates and was a licensed pilot, first met the minor after her mother introduced them for flying lessons.Mell, who was 51 at the time, began communicating with the 15-year-old girl privately through SnapChat in 2017. The conversations turned sexual when Mell asked “if she knew how to perform oral sex,” according to the complaint.
