An American Airlines flight attendant is currently in custody pending trial after being arrested on suspicion of attempting to secretly video record a 14-year-old female passenger using an airplane bathroom. The incident took place during a flight from Charlotte to Boston in September 2023.
Investigators have alleged that the flight attendant, a 37-year-old from Charlotte, North Carolina, had recordings of four other minor female passengers using lavatories on a different aircraft he had previously worked on. The accused flight attendant, identified as Thompson III, agreed to voluntary confinement until trial during an initial appearance in federal court in Boston.
