A repugnant act. A former Steward of the American Airlines company was sentenced after being convicted of having stuck his mobile phone on the lid of a plane toilet to secretly film young girls. He was sentenced to 18 and a half years in prison on Wednesday, followed by five years of supervised freedom.

Crime Story tells the big criminal affairs every week.
The now ex-Steward was charged last year from an attempt to attempt to exploit children and another possession of child pornographic images representing a prepubesian minor. He apologized in court this Wednesday and described his actions as “selfish, perverse and bad”.
During his conviction in court, lawyers of the US government said that Sestes Carter Thompson “deprived five young girls of their innocence and their belief in the goodness of the world and of the people they would meet there, leaving them rather with fear, distrust, insecurity and sadness. »»
The defendant, who will serve his sentence in a Northern Carolina prison, intends to undergo a specific treatment for sex offenders, said lawyers.
