American Airlines flight attendant, Estes Carter Thompson III, has been arrested for allegedly recording multiple young girls using hidden cameras in plane bathrooms. A federal probe was initiated when a 14-year-old caught him attempting to film her. Investigations revealed videos of four prior victims, all minor females, as young as 7. Thompson was caught in September when the teenager discovered his hidden camera in the bathroom, leading to a federal investigation.
Thompson faces charges of attempted sexual exploitation of children and possession of child pornography, potentially facing 50 years in prison. The victims have been identified and contacted by law enforcement. American Airlines takes the allegations seriously and is cooperating with the investigation. Thompson is currently in custody awaiting court appearances.
