Local10 Information in Miami reviews {that a} 35-year-old crew member appeared in federal court docket yesterday after federal brokers discovered youngster sexual abuse materials and bestiality movies on his telephone after he disembarked at PortMiami on Sunday.
In keeping with the native information station, U.S. Customs and Border Safety (CBP) brokers searched the cellphone of Ferry Maryanto, on Sunday afternoon, which revealed “a number of movies/pictures” depicting youngster sexual abuse materials. The station didn’t determine his residence nation, though some folks inform me that “Maryanto” is a typical identify in Indonesia.
The movies on the ship worker’s cellphone confirmed “girls and boys being raped or in any other case sexually abused by males or ladies.” Miami-Dade Police, who arrested the crew member, mentioned the movies depicted victims “between the ages of three and 10 years outdated being sexually abused.”
Maryanto was additionally discovered to be in possession of movies that depicted movies of bestiality, together with “a number of movies of girls partaking in sexual exercise with a horse, pig and canine.”
The native information station reviews that Maryanto “made a confession to detectives when being interviewed.”
Maryanto faces 10 counts of possession of kid pornography and three counts of sexual conduct with animals. He was being held (on an immigration maintain) on the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Heart on behalf of the U.S. Marshals Service as of Monday. His bond was set at $2,500 per depend.
The arrest report didn’t disclose the identify of Maryanta’s cruise ship employer or the ship the place he labored. The one cruise ships in port in Miami final Sunday had been the Valiant Girl, Norwegian Breakaway and two Carnival ships, the Carnival Horizon and the Carnival Magic.
This newest arrest brings the entire variety of crew members arrested to 13! To date, crew members from 5 corporations have been arrested on youngster pornography costs: Carnival – 4; Royal Caribbean – 3; Disney – 3; Movie star – 1; and Holland America Line – 1.
The final 4 crew members arrested had been all employed by Carnival Cruise Line. Two of the 4 Carnival crew members, who had been arrested two weeks in the past, Iputuagus Karnawan, a/okay/a Putu Karnawan (age 28)(from Indonesia), reportedly labored within the galley as a prepare dinner on the Carnival Conquest. Imadewisma Dana (additionally age 28 and from Indonesia), additionally reportedly labored a prepare dinner on the Carnival Conquest.

The opposite two Carnival crew members, who had been arrested final week on costs of possessing youngster pornography, Igedeboy Mardika (photograph beneath proper), a 28-year-old Indonesian nationwide, and Sreerag Vazhayil (photograph beneath left) , a 32-year-old Indian nationwide, had been additionally accused of possessing bestiality movies on the Carnival Cruise Line ship the place they labored (both the Carnival Horizon or Carnival Celebration).
Vazhayil possessed a “video of a person having intercourse with a horse;” Mardika “had three movies of girls having intercourse with a horse, a canine and a pig,” based on Miami-Dade Police. These bestiality allegations towards Carnival crew member Mardika are precisely the identical as the costs towards crew member Ferry Maryanto who was arrested two days in the past. The query naturally arises – did these two crew members work on the identical ship? Did they trade or commerce the identical unlawful photos?
The place Did This Newest Crew Members Work?
Many instances. the arrest information don’t determine the identify of the cruise line employer or the cruise ship the place the crew member lived and labored. Many tens of hundreds of crew members learn this weblog and a number of other ship workers have recognized the cruise traces which employed and employed among the crew members who’ve been arrested previously on youngster pornography costs. (We in fact shield their anonymity). We might be asking for help as soon as once more in studying the id of the cruise line concerned in tis newest crime.
Crackdown On Baby Pornography By U.S. and Florida Legislation Enforcement in South Florida
Contemplating the excessive variety of crew members who’ve been arrested on cruise ships in South Florida within the final 5 months, there seems to be an effort by each state and federal regulation enforcement businesses to research and prosecute individuals who possess and transport youngster pornography (and bestiality movies) on cruise ships. It’s possible that when regulation enforcement seizes a crew member’s iPhone and/or laptop, they receive proof comparable to social media websites and web transmissions which share youngster pornography and/or bestiality photos implicating a large variety of ship workers. A few of these crew members work on the identical cruise ship and should commerce and/or trade photos.
It additionally appears clear to me that federal and state regulation enforcement authorities are working with businesses which use state-of-the-art surveillance software program the place consultants monitor youngster pornography and file-sharing websites to develop a large worldwide database to catch those that possess and share youngster abuse photos.

Are Cruise Employers Doing Something to Handle the Unlawful Conduct?
There stays the elemental situation whether or not cruise employers are taking any steps to ban youngster pornography on their ships.
To begin with, it’s clear in reviewing the arrest reviews and/or possible trigger affidavits that the cruise traces don’t monitor the computer systems or cellphone of their ship workers. We’ve by no means learn, for instance, {that a} cruise line has ever knowledgeable regulation enforcement {that a} ship worker has been caught with youngster pornography.
I’ve requested crew members to clarify whether or not the cruise traces have guidelines and rules (in an organization handbook or within the “Grasp’s Guidelines”) concerning the difficulty of kid pornography (i.e., it’s towards the cruise line’s insurance policies and can result in termination, plus an reason why it’s unlawful, why it’s illegal, and the intense dangers which ship workers face (arrest, legal prosecution and fines, potential jail sentences and being labeled as a sexual legal).
To date, two crew members have defined the coverage of Disney Cruise Line. One Disney crew member informed me the next:
“In response to your query, for the reason that arrests Disney has executed city corridor assembly (obligatory crew meeting) the place prime administration from shore aspect have talked concerning the arrests and have gone over that it’s unlawful and that they may report back to all ranges of regulation enforcement in the event that they catch any criminality on the DCL web, additionally they talked about how different actions (ie. sexual harassment on anybody not simply minors) and threats and assaults will all be handed over to regulation enforcement). All crew who come again for an additional contract will hear the identical message every signal on and in HR coaching within the first week it’s talked about how it’s computerized termination if caught going anyplace by your self (with a minor you will need to all the time have 2 crew members). Throughout coaching and yearly crew members get a category on avoiding sexual harassment and abuse which matches over disciplinary actions. “
I get the impression that Carnival and Royal Caribbean, alternatively, don’t commit any time, effort or power in educating and coaching its crew members concerning this significant issue. To date, no workers of Carnival or Royal Caribbean have supplied any clarification whether or not they obtain coaching or instruction, however the truth that quite a few ship workers from each corporations have been arrested for possessing youngster abuse photos of very younger kids.
The place Will This Finish?
Will cruise traces (aside from Disney) take this downside severely and prepare their crew members?
My guess is that youngster safety businesses know the id of extra crew members on cruise ships calling on South Florida who’ve downloaded or bought unlawful photos. These businesses are in all probability coordinating with regulation enforcement to apprehend them when the ships the place they work return to U.S. ports.
Keep tuned.
