Two crew members, employed by unidentified cruise strains, are the newest cruise ship workers arrested for possession of kid sexual abuse supplies after they had been apprehended yesterday at PortMiami with baby pornography on their telephones, in keeping with native Miami NBC News Station 6.
Iputuagus Karnawan (beneath – backside) and Imadewisma Dana (beneath – prime), each age 28, had been arrested at PortMiami on Monday.
Each had been accused of possessing quite a few photos “displaying sexual efficiency by a baby.”
In accordance with NBC-6, the arrest stories point out {that a} U.S. Customs and Border Safety officer performed “routine cabin searches” and positioned movies of “baby abuse materials on their cellphones.” The 2 males had 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 court docket prison decide set the bond for each males at $2,500 on every rely, 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, had been being saved behind bars on an immigration maintain.
Along with these two crew members, eight different cruise ship workers have been arrested for possessing baby sexual abuse supplies since February: Iwayan Pasek Brahmantara, age 32 (Royal Caribbean assistant waiter on the Surprise 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 Global as a dancer / performer on a Holland America Line cruise ship), and Dennis Ofrancia De Leon, age 44 (Superstar Reflection). A few of these crew members possessed baby pornography of kids as younger as two to 5 years of age.

It appears moderately far-fetched to imagine that these males had been topic to “routine” cabin searches which turned up baby pornography on their private telephones. My thought is that a few of them in all probability had been sharing baby abuse photos. 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? To date, 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).
