CHARLOTTE — A former flight attendant pleaded not guilty Monday after investigators said he tried to secretly record girls in airplane bathrooms.
Estes Thompson, who was arrested in January, was in a federal courtroom Monday in Boston.
A 14-year-old girl reported finding a cellphone recording in the bathroom of an American Airlines flight from Charlotte to Boston in September.
Investigators said they later found hundreds of child sex abuse images on his iCloud account, including images of other girls from other flights.
Thompson’s due back in court in July.
