Flight Attendant Accused of Recording Girl in Plane Bathroom

A family was on the way to Disneyland for vacation when they experienced a nightmare on their American Airlines flight. Their 9-year-old daughter ended up being filmed while in the bathroom, and cops say the camera was planted by a flight attendant. Ann Mercogliano spoke with the girl���s mother, who wishes to remain anonymous to protect her daughter���s identity, by phone. The mother called the flight attendant a ���monster.���

[@macsimpson7771]

A 9 year old should not be expected to anticipate a crime like this. What a deplorable defense. Absolutely disgusting.

[@williameggleton414]

I think they were the lawyers the predator hired to pin the blame on her. He not only violated a child's privacy, which is a massive sex offense, he's trying to find loopholes and technicalities to delay a trial. He is a sociopath and cannot be let out in society ever again.

Social media can be good or bad depending on who uses it.

[@danielm8950]

Basically what they said in their defense was this. It's because the toilet was damaged and it needed a recording device for safety reasons. It's allowed because they expect you to recognize the safety problem before you drop your trousers or knickers. The camera can alert the crew of an accident, like if someone gets their head stuck in the toilet bowl.

okay to answer some questions. the girls were all flying coach. flight attendant, out of the goodness of his heart (not really) told them they can use the first class bathroom instead, but the seat is broken and he has to go in first to wash his hands. then he taped the phone to the seat with the stickers (seat not actually broken), recorded 🤮, and then went in after the girls and removed everything.
