Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, July 24, 2025

Estes Carter Thompson III (37), who confessed to taping his phone to the airplane toilet's lid to film girls as young as seven years old, has been sentenced to 18 1/2 years in prison. The perverted American Airlines flight attendant pleaded guilty earlier this year to recording five underage girls over a nine-month period " as well as amassing a trove of AI-generated child pornography. The now-fired flight attendant apologized at his sentencing, conceding that his depraved actions were "selfish, perverse, and wrong." Boston USDJ Julia Kobick called Thompson's behavior "appalling" and said the filmed kids' "innocence has been lost" because of it.

America seems to be sitting on top of a powder-keg of child sexual abusers and this case is a special type of lunacy. There is no end to the madness and the Trumpf junta recently defunded the State Dept office that monitors human trafficking. Link: CNN

I'd rather pedos watch AI generated child pornography than real child pornography.

So.

Ummm ...

Glad he's getting what he wants?

I guess.

That's longer than Trump's buddy Alex Acosta gave Epstein for actually having sex with underage girls.

Loss of any privacy when there are expectations of privacy should be recognized as a felony against anyone or any institution including govt. Privacy is a right.

This guy can be the republican presidential nominee in 2028.

Ridiculous.

Taking pictures doesn't qualify him for anything other than a page or secretary job in the RNC.

He has to actually rape them to be qualified to even lead a federal department.

To be the nominee, he has to rape a lot more than just one underage girl! He has to get at least to the double digits!

Right, Jeff? Right, LeftHandTurds? IronNutjob? Scotts?
