Prosecutors announced that an American Airlines flight attendant attempted to secretly record a 14-year-old girl in an airplane restroom and that he had recordings of other young girls using the restroom on the aircraft as well.
Estes Carter Thompson III, 37, was arrested on Thursday, and he is now being charged “with one count of attempted sexual exploitation of children and one count of possession of child pornography depicting a prepubescent minor.”
Prosecutors say that the young girl was waiting for an occupied restroom in the main cabin when the flight attendant reportedly approached her and led her to a first-class restroom instead, which he said was available for her. The press release goes on to say that Thompson had gone into the restroom for a short while before the adolescent walked inside, claiming that he needed to “wash his hands” and that the “toilet seat was broken.”
