Fox News
An attorney for a family who says American Airlines blamed their 9-year-old child for being filmed while in a flight cabin's bathroom speaks out.
"I cannot even envision a world where it is appropriate to point to a 9-year-old and say, 'It's not our fault. This is your fault. You should have known that you were being filmed'" Chris Eberhart is a crime and US news reporter for Fox News Digital. Email tips to chris.eberhart@fox.com or on Twitter @ChrisEberhart48.
One of the victims' families, who sued the airline and Thompson, were "outraged" and "angry" when the airline's lawyers blamed the girl, the family's lawyer, Paul Llewellyn, told Fox News Digital.
"I cannot even envision a world where it is appropriate to point to a 9-year-old and say, 'It's not our fault. This is your fault. You should have known that you were being filmed,'" said Llewellyn, who vigorously shook his head no when asked if he faced this defense before. "No, never."
