      Innocent until proven guilty only applies in the courts. For everywhere else, it seems to be guilty until proven innocent, and sometimes still guilty despite proof.

      The whole point of the lawsuit is that they couldn’t find evidence because the other flight attendants gave him his phone back after he’d been caught. They’re suing because he committed an obvious offense against a minor, and the employees didn’t take the accusation seriously enough not to let evidence get destroyed.

      The criminal case may be a lost cause now, but the evidence we do have is pretty damning and does warrant a lawsuit against the company that enabled what happened.
