Brown is accused of climbing on and sticking himself to the plane at London City Airport on Thursday.
The 55-year-old says he isn’t “denying what I did, but I was compelled to do what I did because of my concerns for the future of my children.”
A judge granted Brown conditional bail and prohibited him from going within a mile of any U.K. airport
Brown is visually impaired and won two gold medals in cycling while competing for Britain in the 1984 Summer Paralympics.
