Sentencing
On January 26, 2006, Fox appeared before Nagle for sentencing. According to the Hawaii Reporter, during the sentencing hearing, Fox stated that he had "hoped for romance with the young woman and had touched her leg and arm, taking her complete lack of response as consent.". Fox also told Nagle that he was innocent, stating "I cannot admit to something that I did not do."
During the court hearing, Nagle read parts of a letter from the victim. "Since that flight, I have had difficulty sleeping and I have been having nightmares of Galen Fox," the victim wrote. "I brought this case because I had the right to sleep on a plane without being groped."
Fox was sentenced by Nagle to three months of house arrest, three years probation and a $2,500 fine. He was also ordered to register as a sex offender. Nagle stated that she imposed the house arrest sentence because Fox was a "defendant who is unable to admit that he is at fault in any way."
