American Airlines Blames 9-Year-Old Girl for Hidden Camera Incident

American Airlines is facing backlash for initially blaming a 9-year-old girl for not noticing a flight attendant filming her in the bathroom. The airline has since amended its defense, removing the claims of fault placed on the girl. The flight attendant, Estes Carter Thompson, is facing federal charges for attempted sexual exploitation of children and possession of child sexual abuse images. The girl's family, represented by attorney Paul Llewellyn, is suing the airline, which has stated that the initial defense was an error by their outside legal counsel.
