On August 30, an american man was charged for the sexual assault of a minor onboard cruise ship.
What happened?
The 30-year-old man has been charged with sexually assaulting a minor onboard a cruise ship. The cruise was enroute from Boston to Bermuda. Subsequently, their American counterparts were notified about the incident.
The brave child reported the incident to the ship’s security, who in turn immediately arrested the man and handed him to the Bermuda police.
Awaiting extradition:
The American man from Mississippi who assaulted the minor is currently waiting to extradited from Bermuda to the United States.
The defendant was officially charged on Wednesday in a Massachusetts federal court, according to the US Attorney’s office.
Charges confirmed:
A spokesman for Bermuda Police said, “The Bermuda Police Service is aware of a report of a sexual assault against a minor that took place on a cruise ship that was berthed in Bermuda recently. The BPS did the initial response and determined all parties involved were US citizens. In accordance with International practice the matter was handed over to an overseas law enforcement partner agency to complete the investigation. The BPS is assisting the investigation. Child safeguarding is a Service priority. Accepted best practice dictates that we not comment on the specifics of any investigation that involves minors.”
