Now 21 years old, the alleged victim has talked about her experience for the first time. (Buzzfeed News refers to her as “G.” to protect her identity). Then, only 11 years, G. was on the cruise with her grandmother and her little sister and was excited about the holidays. “Automatically, when I was a child, you think it will be incredible,” he said.
Before the ship had just left the Caribbean, G. lowered the stairs to get the Wi-Fi password, he told Buzzfeed News. “I asked the person outside the restaurant directives to the lobby,” he recalled. “And when he guided me, hey, he immediately grabbed my tits.”
G. ran to the lobby in search of someone who could tell him the Wi-Fi password. She said “she was afraid to go through the same direction” on the way back because he could cross the man who had touched her. But he needed to return to his room and feared to get lost on the giant ship.
While G. walked to the restaurant, got into an elevator. She said the same employee followed her, blocking the doors. “He said:” Can I kiss me? “She recalled.” I kissed the cheek and he said: “No, not there.”
After he let her go, G. ran to her room crying. “I didn’t know what to do,” he said.
She said she told her grandmother why she was so distressed, and went to the lobby to inform what happened with the guest services. G. said they asked about the incident and how the employee looked and promised that he would be investigated.
Taplin, who was on board at that time, said he saw the elevator surveillance images, which confirmed the child’s version. Later, G. said they asked him to identify the assailant looking at photographs of four employees. According to both Tapl and G., the girl identified the assailant as a waiter in one of the ship’s restaurants.
Tapl said he did everything possible to investigate the case, but said he was clogged through the process. She said she told one of the upper officers of the ship to call the FBI while the boat was still docked in Port Canaveral, Florida. But the officer decided to leave around 5 pm and did not report the FBI until the ship was in international waters.
Subsequently, Tapl said, the superior officer interviewed the member of the accused crew while present. The Official Report of the meeting, regarded by Buzzfeed News, affirms that the crew member “hesitated, but Oally denied kissing the girl” and only gave him a “five and hug.”
Taplin said that what was in the report was that duration of the meeting, the officer had threatened the crew member, saying: “I will cut your cock at this time” and that would be the testicles of the crew member and “put their balls.”
When the ship docked in the Bahamas the next day, local police officers arrived. According to Taplin, the police rebuked and threatened the alleged attacker, presses him to confess. “I was so bad,” said Taplin. “I mean, you have it with your hands in the dough with what I had done, right?”
In the end, he signed a statement that Tapl alleged that it was written by the Bahamas Police. “I touched his right chest with my left hand,” says the signed confession. However, Tplin said the alleged suspect was not arrested. Instead, he was repatriated to the state of Goa, in India.
G. said she was so scared by the rest of the holidays that she didn’t do it because to leave her grandmother’s side and never felt safe on board again. She said she could only relax making a stop in Castaway Cay, a private island of the Caribbean that Disney owns, because she knew that her assailant would not be there.
After G. reported the attack, he said Disney instructed the employee that he was cleaning his room to show how they create small animals out of the towels and put a princess bed in his bed. “But that was basically everything,” he said. After getting home in his cruise, G. said Re -Family only heard from Disney once to tell them that the member of the accused crew had deported.
