'Horrifying': Delta worker uploads explicit video on a child's iPad, lost on a flight; parents sue airline
A South Carolina couple has sued Delta Airlines after they found an explicit video on their iCloud account after their child lost an iPad on a flight. "This experience has been horrifying and something we never could have anticipated," Brooke Brewer, who filed the lawsuit with her husband, Tory Brewer, said in a statement to Newsweek.
The airline said the worker was not a Delta employee but worked for a vendor company.
Delta Air Lines has zero tolerance for unlawful behavior of any kind, a spokesperson said.
According to the complaint, Brooke and Tory Brewer flew with their two children on a Delta flight from Charleston to New York City on July 19, 2023, before connecting to a flight to London. Upon reaching London, they realized that they left an iPad on the flight to New York.
Brooke Brewer began receiving text messages about the missing device, so she used Apple's "Find My" app to trace it to the New York City borough of Queens, the complaint said. Soon after, selfies appeared on the family's iCloud. The individual who featured in those selfies was wearing a Delta uniform. Then, on August 27, pornographic videos of the same individual began appearing in family's iCloud account.
"In the videos, the Defendant Delta's employee is masturbating while in his Delta uniform and wearing his Delta name badge," the complaint said.
The individual is not named in the complaint. Another pornographic video of the same individual appeared on the family's iCloud a month later.
"This experience has been horrifying and something we never could have anticipated. In the rush of de-boarding, our child simply left their device on the plane. We're sharing our story in hope we can help prevent this from happening to others. If speaking out can spare just one family from having to endure something like this, we would be grateful," the mother said.
The family is seeking compensation for the "mental and emotional pain and suffering they endured and continue to endure," according to the complaint.

Delta Airline Worker Records Explicit Videos Of Himself On Child Passenger's iPad
A Delta Airlines employee has been accused of swiping a child's iPad and using it to record pornographic images of himself that were uploaded to the cloud. Parents Tory and Brooke Brewer have filed a lawsuit against the airline worker in the US District Court in Charleston, according to a report in New York Post. As per the lawsuit, the family had boarded a Delta flight from Charleston, South Carolina, to New York City's John F Kennedy International Airport on July 19, 2023, before connecting to a flight in London. After the family arrived in London, they found they had accidentally left behind their child's iPad with a Peppa Pig case on the plane, in the seat pocket. The child's mother used the "Find My" app, and tracked the iPad to Queens/Jamaica, New York, after receiving random messages from the missing device. Just over a month after losing the device, the family noticed that the shared iCloud account was filled with pornographic videos showing a man "masturbating while in his Delta uniform and wearing his Delta name badge". The accused also managed to get into Brewers' Amazon account and created a profile titled 'Gay' that one of the couple's young children discovered. Family seeking damages Despite filing the complaint, the Brewers only received an automatic "no reply" email stating they were continuing to look for the iPad, the suit claimed. "What should have been a fun family getaway was riddled with confusion and anxiety over unauthorized access to their personal devices, a breach of privacy, and the transmission of highly inappropriate, explicit video recordings sent through their child's personal devices, something they never would have expected," read a statement from Brewers' attorney, Tola Familoni of Motley Rice law firm. The Brewers have accused Delta of negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, harassment, and even sexual assault. The family is seeking damages and accountability from the airline, alleging Delta failed to respond meaningfully to their concerns. "The accused individual is not a Delta employee but one of a vendor company," Delta told the outlet, without identifying the employee.

Ex-girlfriend of Rustom Bhagwagar, Indian-origin pilot in US, helped him in child abuse; she knew her daughter was a victim
Indian-origin US pilot Rustom Bhagwagar, arrested for child abuse, was aided by his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Powell. They sexually abused Jennifer's daughter. In a shocking revelation of the case that involved the dramatic arrest of an Indian-origin pilot Rustom Bhagwagar from the cockpit of the plane that he landed in San Francisco, investigators have now revealed that Rustom's former girlfriend was a part of this child abuse. Her daughter was the victim of Rustom's abuse; she knew it. The daughter currently was not living with her mother. Jennifer Powerll, 45, the ex-girlfriend, was aware that her daughter was being sexually abused by her then-boyfriend, the authorities said. Jennifer watched and even participated in the alleged sex crimes against her daughter. According to court documents, the abuse started when the daughter was six years old and continued until she was 11 when Powell and Bhagwagar broke up. Powell was also taken into custody this week and charged alongside Rustom. Both defendants are being held at the Martinez Detention Facility; Bhagwagar's bail is set at $15 million, while Powell's bail has not yet been disclosed. Dramatic arrest from the Delta plane Rustom was arrested Saturday in San Francisco as soon as he landed the plane. His co-pilot was not aware of the impending arrest, as the federal agents made sure that Rustom had no way to escape. The passengers were also left in shock as they saw their pilot being led by the federal agents in handcuffs. Delta said it suspended the pilot from the airline pending the investigation. "Delta has zero tolerance for unlawful conduct and will fully cooperate with law enforcement," a spokesperson said. "We are appalled by reports of the charges related to the arrest and the individual in question has been suspended pending an investigation." "Our office stands firmly committed to protecting children and holding those who cause harm accountable. Every child deserves to feel safe, protected, and heard when an injustice like this occurs," according to District Attorney Diana Becton. "By pursuing these cases vigorously, we not only seek justice for victims but also work to safeguard our entire community from those who would prey on children."
