Flight Attendant Who Filmed Minors in Lavatory Is Sentenced to 18.5 Years
A former American Airlines flight attendant who used his cellphone to secretly record girls as they used the lavatory on flights was sentenced on Wednesday to 18 and a half years in prison, federal prosecutors said. From January 2023 to September 2023, the flight attendant, Estes Carter Thompson III, of Charlotte, N.C., secretly filmed girls using the restroom on American Airlines flights, the U.S. attorney's office for the District of Massachusetts said in a sentencing memo. He would direct them to specific lavatories where he had set up 'a secret recording studio,' using his cellphone, the memo said. 'He robbed five young girls of their innocence and belief in the goodness of the world and the people they would encounter in it, instead leaving them with fear, mistrust, insecurity and sadness,' Leah B. Foley, the U.S. attorney for the District of Massachusetts, wrote in the sentencing memo. Federal prosecutors had recommended a sentence of 20 years in prison, with five years of supervised release. Elianna J. Nuzum, the assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted the case, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Scott Lauer, a lawyer for Mr. Thompson, had recommended a sentence of 15 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release, citing his substance abuse, mental health issues and lack of a criminal history. Mr. Lauer declined to comment on Wednesday night. Mr. Thompson was arrested in January 2024 and pleaded guilty in March 2025 to one count of attempted sexual exploitation of children and one count of possession of child pornography depicting a prepubescent minor, federal prosecutors said. In handing down the sentence on Wednesday, Judge Julia E. Kobick called Mr. Thompson's behavior 'appalling' and said the victims' 'innocence has been lost' because of his actions, The Associated Press reported. Judge Kobick recommended that Mr. Thompson serve his sentence at a federal prison in Butner, N.C., and that he participate in substance abuse and sex offender treatment programs. Mr. Thompson was also sentenced to five years supervised release after he completes his prison sentence. According to The A.P., Mr. Thompson apologized in court on Wednesday and said his actions were 'selfish, perverse and wrong.' According to prosecutors' sentencing memo, Mr. Thompson was working as a flight attendant on an American Airlines flight to Boston from Charlotte on Sept. 2, 2023, when he tried to record a 14-year-old girl using the bathroom during the flight. The girl was waiting for a bathroom in the main cabin when Mr. Thompson told her she could use the first-class bathroom and escorted her to the front of the plane. He informed her that the toilet seat in the bathroom was broken. The girl noticed red stickers on the underside of the toilet seat lid that read 'INOPERATIVE CATERING EQUIPMENT' with 'SEAT BROKEN' handwritten on one of the stickers. It wasn't until after she used the toilet and went to flush that she noticed an iPhone with its flashlight on underneath the stickers, according to court documents. The girl took a picture of the phone and told her parents, who told the crew. Her father confronted Mr. Thompson, who took his phone into a bathroom and restored the device to factory settings, wiping it clean, the document said. In searching Mr. Thompson's iCloud account, investigators found evidence of four additional episodes in which Mr. Thompson recorded a minor using the lavatory on American Airlines flights in 2023, the document said. They also found 50 images of a sixth child who flew as an unaccompanied minor on a flight in July 2023. Those included pictures of the child sleeping and of her clothed buttocks, as well as hundreds of images depicting child sexual abuse that had been generated by artificial intelligence. Investigators also found 11 'INOPERATIVE CATERING EQUIPMENT' stickers in Mr. Thompson's suitcase, along with numerous copies of American Airlines forms pertaining to unaccompanied minors, the documents said. Mr. Thompson was immediately removed from service after the September flight, American Airlines said after his arrest.

Georgia football commit Chace Calicut charged in Texas drive-by shooting
Four-star Georgia football commit Chace Calicut, 17, has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly participating in a drive-by shooting earlier this month. The Harris County (Texas) Sheriff's Office alleges Calicut is one of two Houston-area high schoolers who, on July 6, followed and shot at a car carrying two people with whom they had an ongoing dispute. Advertisement 'Calicut and the other defendant continually tried to block the car and stop it. They shot numerous times into the vehicle,' the sheriff's department said in a statement to The Athletic. 'Neither (person) was hit by gunfire. Detectives were able to interview the complainants and charge both (suspects).' Calicut was allegedly behind the wheel during the shooting and is said to have driven erratically to block and pull alongside the other vehicle. The inhabitants of that vehicle told police that Calicut's only passenger, Isaiah Bruce Phillip, was the person who shot at them. Phillip, also 17, was killed at a July 20 pool party shooting before police could arrest him. He died at the scene of the attack, with two other teens suffering injuries. It's unclear whether there is a connection between the alleged drive-by shooting and the pool party attack, but Calicut has not been tied to or charged with anything related to that incident. Police have not publicly identified any suspects in the incident. Calicut made his first court appearance Tuesday night and received a $20,000 bond. Public records indicate he is still in custody as of Wednesday evening. The judge ruled that he must wear a GPS monitoring device, cannot leave Harris County and cannot return to North Shore High. His arraignment, at which he will enter his plea, is Aug. 6. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound safety committed to Georgia on June 27 after receiving 33 other offers from schools, including Alabama, Texas, Michigan and Miami, according to 247Sports. A senior set to graduate from high school next year, Calicut helped North Shore to a 14-1 record and a Texas 6A state semifinal appearance last season. Calicut is the latest in a series of Georgia commits and players recently embroiled in criminal allegations. On July 16, Georgia state police arrested offensive lineman Jah Jackson on marijuana possession charges. The team has not announced any discipline, letting the legal process play out. Jackson is expected to be a top reserve at left or right tackle if he remains with the team. Advertisement Then-current Georgia wide receiver Nitro Tuggle and offensive lineman Marques Easley were also arrested this past spring for speeding and reckless driving. The program immediately suspended them, and both later entered the transfer portal. That marked a slight but definite change in how head coach Kirby Smart has handled arrests, especially for driving. In the past, Georgia suspended first-time offenders for a game, or not at all. The team cannot comment on recruits until they are officially signed, per NCAA rules. Smart could eventually retract the players' scholarship offers, but that has not happened yet. Since Smart took over the program in 2016, the Bulldogs have a 105-19 record and have won two national championships in three appearances. Georgia opens the 2025 season on Aug. 30 against Marshall.
