A former American Airlines flight attendant accused of filming a teenage girl in the bathroom of a Boston-bound plane is scheduled to be arraigned in federal court Monday, according to court records.

Federal prosecutors accused Estes Carter Thompson III, 36, of Charlotte, North Carolina, of filming a 14-year-old girl on a flight to Boston last September and possessing recordings of four other girls using airplane lavatories.

Thompson was arrested in January in Lynchburg, Virginia, according to court records.

The girl on the flight from Charlotte to Boston found a concealed iPhone in a first-class bathroom after she had partially undressed and used the toilet, according to court documents.

The girl told her parents what had happened and her father confronted Thompson, who had the “color drain out of” his face, according to court documents.

Thompson is represented by a federal public defender.

He is scheduled to appear before Magistrate Judge Judith Dein at 2 p.m. during a remote proceeding, according to a court schedule.

Teen who ate spicy tortilla chip died of high chile consumption, autopsy says

A Massachusetts teen who participated in a spicy tortilla chip challenge on social media died from eating a large quantity of chile pepper extract and also had a congenital heart defect, according to autopsy results obtained by The Associated Press.

Harris Wolobah, a 10th grader from the city of Worcester, died on Sept. 1, 2023, after eating the Paqui chip as part of the manufacturer’s “One Chip Challenge.”

“We were and remain deeply saddened by the death of Harris Wolobah and extend our condolences to his family and friends,” Paqui, a Texas-based subsidiary of the Hershey Co., said in a statement Thursday. A phone number listed for Harris’ family was disconnected. The Associated Press left messages seeking comment with friends of the family.

Harris died of cardiopulmonary arrest “in the setting of recent ingestion of food substance with high capsaicin concentration,” according to the autopsy from the Chief Office of the Medical Examiner. Capsaicin is the component that gives chile peppers their heat.

The autopsy also said that Harris had cardiomegaly, meaning an enlarged heart, and a congenital defect described as “myocardial bridging of the left anterior descending coronary artery.”
