Disney cruise lines released the following statement:

“Safety and security of our guests is our highest priority, and we immediately contacted the FBI about the situation.”

UPDATE: The suspect was a 21 year old passenger from New York, Lucas George Wicker. Wicker is behind bars in The Bahamas and is awaiting arraignment on sexual assault charges.

 

Investigators with the Bahamian police said, on New Year’s Day, while the ship was in international waters, a 21-year-old passenger, Lucas George Wicker, sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl.

A spokesperson for the cruise line said the allegations were first reported to security personnel on the ship, who immediately notified the FBI. The spokesperson said the FBI gave them guidance on what do while they were still at sea and, when the ship arrived in Nassau on Tuesday, the Bahamian police took over the investigation.

Investigators said Wickers told the girl he wanted to show her “something” on a lower deck and, when she refused to go with him, he threatened to throw her overboard. Police wouldn’t say where on the ship the alleged sexual assault occurred. (WTFV)
