American Airlines is doing damage control following a recent court filing in which its lawyers appeared to blame a 9-year-old girl for being secretly recorded in a bathroom. American Airlines flight attendant Estes Carter Thompson III was arrested in January and indicted by a federal grand jury in April.Court documents say Thompson recorded young girls after guiding them to first-class restrooms where his iPhone was hidden behind stickers taped to a toilet seat reading, "seat broken.
Attorney Paul Llewellyn represents the two girls and their families."And one of their defenses was to blame the 9-year-old girl, and they said that she knew or should’ve known that she was being filmed," he said. "In my view, that is absolutely outrageous. It is sickening." American Airlines’ attorneys wrote in an answer to the lawsuit involving the 9-year-old from Austin, "She knew or should have known contained a visible and illuminated recording device.
