Local10 News in Miami stories {that a} 35-year-old crew member appeared in federal court docket yesterday after federal brokers discovered little one sexual abuse materials and bestiality movies on his cellphone after he disembarked at PortMiami on Sunday.
In line 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 little one sexual abuse materials. The station didn’t establish his residence nation, though some individuals inform me that “Maryanto” is a standard identify in Indonesia.
The movies on the ship worker’s mobile phone 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 previous 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 stories 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 have 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! Thus far, crew members from 5 firms have been arrested on little one pornography costs: Carnival – 4; Royal Caribbean – 3; Disney – 3; Movie star – 1; and Holland America Line – 1.
The final 4 crew members arrested have been all employed by Carnival Cruise Line. Two of the 4 Carnival crew members, who have 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 cook dinner on the Carnival Conquest. Imadewisma Dana (additionally age 28 and from Indonesia), additionally reportedly labored a cook dinner on the Carnival Conquest.

The opposite two Carnival crew members, who have been arrested final week on costs of possessing little one pornography, Igedeboy Mardika (picture beneath proper), a 28-year-old Indonesian nationwide, and Sreerag Vazhayil (picture beneath left) , a 32-year-old Indian nationwide, have 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,” in response to Miami-Dade Police. These bestiality allegations towards Carnival crew member Mardika are precisely the identical as the fees 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 data don’t establish 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 strains which employed and employed a number of the crew members who’ve been arrested previously on little one pornography costs. (We in fact shield their anonymity). We can be asking for help as soon as once more in studying the id of the cruise line concerned in tis newest crime.
Crackdown On Little one 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 legislation enforcement companies to analyze and prosecute individuals who possess and transport little one pornography (and bestiality movies) on cruise ships. It’s possible that when legislation enforcement seizes a crew member’s iPhone and/or pc, they receive proof resembling social media websites and web transmissions which share little one 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 will commerce and/or trade photos.
It additionally appears clear to me that federal and state legislation enforcement authorities are working with companies which use state-of-the-art surveillance software program the place specialists monitor little one pornography and file-sharing websites to develop a large worldwide database to catch those that possess and share little one abuse photos.

Are Cruise Employers Doing Something to Handle the Unlawful Conduct?
There stays the elemental challenge whether or not cruise employers are taking any steps to ban little one pornography on their ships.
Initially, it’s clear in reviewing the arrest stories and/or possible trigger affidavits that the cruise strains don’t monitor the computer systems or mobile phone of their ship workers. We now have by no means learn, for instance, {that a} cruise line has ever knowledgeable legislation enforcement {that a} ship worker has been caught with little one pornography.
I’ve requested crew members to clarify whether or not the cruise strains have guidelines and rules (in an organization handbook or within the “Grasp’s Guidelines”) concerning the problem of kid pornography (i.e., it’s towards the cruise line’s insurance policies and can result in termination, plus an reason it’s unlawful, why it’s illegal, and the intense dangers which ship workers face (arrest, felony prosecution and fines, potential jail sentences and being labeled as a sexual felony).
Thus far, two crew members have defined the coverage of Disney Cruise Line. One Disney crew member advised me the next:
“In response to your query, for the reason that arrests Disney has completed 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’ll report back to all ranges of legislation enforcement in the event that they catch any criminal activity on the DCL web, in addition they talked about how different actions (ie. sexual harassment on anybody not simply minors) and threats and assaults will all be handed over to legislation enforcement). All crew who come again for one more 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 have to all the time have 2 crew members). Throughout coaching and yearly crew members get a category on avoiding sexual harassment and abuse which fits over disciplinary actions. “
I get the impression that Carnival and Royal Caribbean, alternatively, don’t commit any time, effort or vitality in educating and coaching its crew members concerning this major problem. Thus far, no workers of Carnival or Royal Caribbean have supplied any rationalization whether or not they obtain coaching or instruction, however the truth that quite a few ship workers from each firms have been arrested for possessing little one abuse photos of very younger youngsters.
The place Will This Finish?
Will cruise strains (aside from Disney) take this downside critically and prepare their crew members?
My guess is that little one safety companies know the id of extra crew members on cruise ships calling on South Florida who’ve downloaded or bought unlawful photos. These companies are in all probability coordinating with legislation enforcement to apprehend them when the ships the place they work return to U.S. ports.
Keep tuned.
