The program focuses on a fifteen year old girl sailing with her family on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in 2010. While her parents and siblings were at a different part of the ship, the young girl was in her cabin alone. A crew member in uniform uses a pass key and enters the cabin unannounced and violently the w hotel westwood forces her to perform oral sex.
Our investigation into other crimes the w hotel westwood against children on Royal Caribbean cruise ships led us to the court ordered production of an internal report by Royal Caribbean which concluded that sexual misconduct occurs frequently. The report concluded that as many as one-third of women and children sexually assaulted the w hotel westwood on Royal Caribbean cruise ships report the crime only after they have left the cruise ship and are back in the security of their home.
In this case, the parents informed the local police in California of the shipboard crime who found the child's complaints to be credible. The police forwarded the complaints to the FBI. The FBI investigation included collecting photographs of crew members selected by the cruise line which, not surprisingly, did not contain the predator's photo. The family thereafter never heard back from the FBI.
The cruise line, however, paid a settlement to the child. On the CNN program tonight, the child (whose identify was protected for her privacy) stated that she felt the crew member was a predator and had done it before.
