Sexual Exploitation of a Child is charged in Fort Collins, Loveland and Larimer County when a person is accused of having dealings with child pornography. It can range from viewing the images to creating them. A flight attendant was recently charged with this crime after he was caught recording children in the airplane bathroom. According to the report, the flight attendant taped his phone to the lid of the toilet before a teen entered the bathroom. He allegedly told the girl he needed to wash his hands and then that the toilet lid was broken. The girl noticed the phone, took a picture and went back to her seat to show her parents. When confronted, the flight attendant tried to reset his phone, but investigators were able to access his iCloud and found videos of a 7, 9, 11, and 14 year old taken in the bathroom of different flights. He was also in possession of many AI generated images of child pornography.

Sexually exploitative material means an image or video that depicts a child engaged in, participating in, observing, or being used for explicit sexual conduct. Simply using the restroom is not sexual conduct, so it’s likely the man was charged with this crime for his possession of child pornography. The images he took in the airplane restroom would be charged as Invasion of Privacy for Sexual Gratification.
