A former American Airlines flight attendant, Estes Carter Thompson, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of attempting to record a 14-year-old girl in an airplane bathroom on a Boston-bound flight. The incident, which allegedly took place last September, involved Thompson taping his phone to the toilet seat to record multiple young girls. In a controversial legal filing, American Airlines initially blamed a 9-year-old girl for being recorded, suggesting she should have known about the camera. This stance has sparked significant backlash, leading the airline to retract the claim, calling it an 'error.' The case has drawn widespread criticism and raised serious concerns about privacy and accountability within the airline industry. Thompson is due in a Boston courtroom, and the legal battle continues in Texas.
