Two crew members, employed by unidentified cruise traces, are the newest cruise ship workers arrested for possession of kid sexual abuse supplies after they have been apprehended yesterday at PortMiami with youngster pornography on their telephones, in line with native Miami NBC Information Station 6.
Iputuagus Karnawan (beneath – backside) and Imadewisma Dana (beneath – prime), each age 28, have been arrested at PortMiami on Monday.
Each have been accused of possessing quite a few pictures “displaying sexual efficiency by a toddler.”
In response to NBC-6, the arrest stories point out {that a} U.S. Customs and Border Safety officer performed “routine cabin searches” and positioned movies of “youngster abuse materials on their cellphones.” The 2 males have been then arrested by Miami-Dade Police. (Florida has a statute authorizing native police departments to analyze and state prosecutors to prosecute crimes on cruise ships which depart and return to this state.)
NBC-6 reported that the state courtroom prison choose set the bond for each males at $2,500 on every depend, leading to a complete bond quantity of $12,500 for Dana and $10,000 for Karnawan.
However Dana and Karnawan, who’re reportedly each from Indonesia, have been being stored behind bars on an immigration maintain.
Along with these two crew members, eight different cruise ship workers have been arrested for possessing youngster sexual abuse supplies since February: Iwayan Pasek Brahmantara, age 32 (Royal Caribbean assistant waiter on the Marvel of the Seas), Komang Parianta, age 33, (Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas), Tirso Anthony Neri, age 44 (Disney Dream), Alvin Gonzalez, age 49 (Disney Dream), Amiel Trazo, age 28 (Disney Dream), Jamaal Wade, age 28 (employed by RWS World as a dancer / performer on a Holland America Line cruise ship), and Dennis Ofrancia De Leon, age 44 (Celeb Reflection). A few of these crew members possessed youngster pornography of youngsters as younger as two to 5 years of age.
Prime left to backside proper: Zin Naing Htun (Royal Caribbean), Iwayan Pasek Brahmantara (Royal Caribbean), Amiel Trazo (Disney), Anthony Gonzalez (Disney), Dennis Ofrancia De Leon (Celeb), Komang Parianta (Royal Caribbean), Tirso Anthony Neri (Disney), and Jamaal Wade (RWS World on a HAL ship).
It appears quite far-fetched to imagine that these males have been topic to “routine” cabin searches which turned up youngster pornography on their private telephones. My thought is that a few of them in all probability have been sharing youngster abuse pictures. This in all probability led to legislation enforcement gathering their emails or social media pages after which figuring out extra perverts on ships which referred to as on U.S. ports right here in Miami or Fort Lauderdale.
The query that arises is which cruise ships did these males work on? Up to now, within the final 5 months, the arrested crew members labored on cruise ships owned by Royal Caribbean (4), Disney (3), and Carnival Company (HAL) (1).
