Flight attendants of a former American Airlines, who said the prosecutors stated that “took advantage of their faith situation” secretly to record and innocent young girls in the bathroom of the airplane were sentenced to the Boston Federal Court on Wednesday to “exploit”.
According to court documents, Carter Thomason III of Charlotte, Northern Carolina, was sentenced to 18 and a half years of prison in North Carolina, followed by five years.
In a punishment memo, federal prosecutors described how Thomspone targeted unaccounted minors and lured them into the bathroom “for their own sexual satisfaction” with a hidden camera.
“Estase Carter Thompson III took advantage of the trust of the trust as a flight attendant to choose among the passengers among the innocent children of their flights, which he could exploit, could direct them in an aircraft bathroom, which they had installed as a secret recording studio, which were recording videos of children in their most personal moments, and then the videos of children were recording videos. That complete those videos, and “” “in doing so, they looted five young girls of their innocence and involved in the goodness of the world and those who would face them, instead leave them with fear, mistrust, insecurity and sadness.”

In April 2024, Thompson showed a pre -sporeography on 6 March 2025 on charges of sexual exploitation attempts and possession of child pornography.
The case began when a 14 -year -old girl from Boston’s Thompson flights discovered a cellphone tapped on a toilet toilet lid in September 2023. Officials later alleged that Thompson had shot at least four other girls between 7 and 14 years of age.
According to the Associated Press, US District Judge Julia Cobik called his actions “frightening” and said that the victims of the child had lost their “innocence”.
In his sentence on Wednesday, Thompson apologized and described his actions as “selfish, distorted and wrong”.

A lawyer representing the families of the victims, Paul Lelevelin, on Thursday, praised Fox News Digital in a statement and criticized Fox News Digital in a statement on Thursday.
“We are happy that the culprit has been sentenced to a long jail so that he can no longer hunt young girls,” said Levelin.
He said, “But no family should ever tolerate what these families have done.” “It is deeply upset that an American Airlines employee was able to take advantage of his position in such a calculation and aggressive manner. The American Airlines owes these families – and to ensure that it can never happen again.”

The American Airlines first apologized after the company’s “external lawyer”, convicted one of the victims in a pre -filing in court, causing displeasure with the lawyer representing the victims. The filing stated that the girl “should have known or know whether the lavewari” included a visible and enlightened recording device. ,
According to a civil trial, the girl took a picture of the phone tapped on the toilet seat and showed her back to her seats. Her father then made a bine for the flight attendant of the aircraft with the photo and shouted, “What happened in the first class bathroom with my daughter?”
American Airlines did not immediately respond to the request of comment from Fox News Digital on Thursday.
