American Airlines Retracts Blame on 9-Year-Old in Hidden Camera Incident

Airline distances itself from legal filing accusing a child of negligence after her video was found on a flight attendant's phone.

American Airlines amended a court filing that blamed a 9-year-old girl for not noticing a hidden camera in an airplane bathroom.
The airline stated that the initial claim was an error made by external legal counsel and does not reflect the company's views.
The family of the girl sued American Airlines after being informed by the FBI about the videos.
The former flight attendant, Estes Carter Thompson III, faces charges of attempted sexual exploitation of children and possession of child sexual abuse images.
Thompson allegedly recorded multiple girls in airplane bathrooms and remains in federal custody.
