Three French males who boarded the MSC Seaside final week allegedly gang-raped a 19-year-old Italian pupil who was on the cruise as a part of a faculty journey, in accordance with a number of newspapers which reported the crime.
Final Friday, the lads boarded the MSC cruise ship vessel in Marseilles, one of many six ports of calls on the MSC cruise ship’s itinerary, a number of days after the younger girl started her cruise in Civitavecchia, close to Rome.
She spent a number of days on the ship along with her classmates earlier than her three attackers boarded the ship. “Hours after they boarded the vessel, the three perpetrators are stated to have lured the younger passenger into their cabin earlier than forcing themselves upon her within the locked room.”
The rape reportedly occurred whereas the MSC ship was crusing again to Italy (Genoa). The Genoa border police carried out the investigation, interviewed the sufferer and obtained safety digicam footage from the ship. The police arrested the three males.
This rape on a MSC ship allegedly occurred two months after a 27 year-old crew member on the MSC Fantasia was accused of raping a 33 year-old passenger from the U.Ok.
