American Airlines has reached a settlement with the family of a Charlotte teenager who was secretly recorded while using the bathroom on a 2023 flight from Charlotte Douglas International Airport to Boston Logan International Airport , according to ABC’s Charlotte television station, WSOC-TV. The civil lawsuit, filed by the victim’s parents, claimed a gross violation of their daughter’s privacy when flight attendant Estes Carter Thompson III allegedly taped his cell phone to the inside of a toilet lid to record her in the lavatory.
