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.
