Local10 Information in Miami studies {that a} 35-year-old crew member appeared in federal courtroom yesterday after federal brokers discovered youngster sexual abuse materials and bestiality movies on his telephone after he disembarked at PortMiami on Sunday.
In keeping 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 youngster sexual abuse materials. The station didn’t determine his house nation, though some folks inform me that “Maryanto” is a typical identify in Indonesia.
The movies of the ship worker’s cellphone 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Police, who arrested the crew member, stated the movies depicted victims between the ages of three and 10 years outdated being sexually abused.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 ladies participating in sexual exercise with a horse, pig and canine.”
The native information station studies 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 Middle 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 had 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! To this point, crew members from 5 firms have been arrested on youngster pornography prices: Carnival – 4; Royal Caribbean – 3; Disney – 3; Superstar – 1; and Holland America Line – 1.
The final 4 crew members arrested had been all employed by Carnival Cruise Line. Two of the 4 Carnival crew members, who had been arrested two weeks in the past, Iputuagus Karnawan, a/ok/a Putu Karnawan (age 28)(from Indonesia), reportedly labored within the galley as a prepare dinner on the Carnival Conquest. Imadewisma Dana (additionally age 28 and from Indonesia), additionally reportedly labored a prepare dinner on the Carnival Conquest.

The opposite two Carnival crew members, who had been arrested final week on prices of possessing youngster pornography, Igedeboy Mardika (photograph under proper), a 28-year-old Indonesian nationwide, and Sreerag Vazhayil (photograph under left) , a 32-year-old Indian nationwide, had 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 ladies having intercourse with a horse, a canine and a pig,” based on Miami-Dade Police. These bestiality allegations in opposition to Carnival crew member Mardika are precisely the identical as the costs in opposition to 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 alternate or commerce the identical unlawful photographs?
The place Did This Newest Crew Members Work?
Many occasions. the arrest data don’t determine the identify of the cruise line employer or the cruise ship the place the crew member lived and labored. Many tens of 1000’s of crew members learn this weblog and a number of other ship workers have recognized the cruise traces which employed and employed a few of the crew members who’ve been arrested up to now on youngster pornography prices. (We after all defend 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 Baby 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 research and prosecute individuals who possess and transport youngster pornography (and bestiality movies) on cruise ships. It’s probably that when legislation enforcement seizes a crew member’s iPhone and/or pc, they get hold of proof comparable to social media websites and web transmissions which share youngster pornography and/or bestiality photographs implicating a large variety of ship workers. A few of these crew members work on the identical cruise ship and will commerce and/or alternate photographs.
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 consultants monitor youngster pornography and file-sharing websites to develop an enormous worldwide database to catch those that possess and share youngster abuse photographs.

Are Cruise Employers Doing Something to Deal with the Unlawful Conduct?
There stays the elemental concern whether or not cruise employers are taking any steps to ban youngster pornography on their ships.
To start with, it’s clear in reviewing the arrest studies and/or possible trigger affidavits that the cruise traces don’t monitor the computer systems or cellphone 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 youngster pornography.
I’ve requested crew members to elucidate whether or not the cruise traces have guidelines and rules (in an organization handbook or within the “Grasp’s Guidelines”) relating to the difficulty of kid pornography (i.e., it’s in opposition to 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, prison prosecution and fines, potential jail sentences and being categorized as a sexual prison).
To this point, two crew members have defined the coverage of Disney Cruise Line. One Disney crew member informed me the next:
“In response to your query, because the arrests Disney has executed city corridor assembly (necessary crew meeting) the place high administration from shore facet have talked in regards to the arrests and have gone over that it’s unlawful and that they are going to report back to all ranges of legislation enforcement in the event that they catch any criminality 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 automated termination if caught going anyplace by your self (with a minor you could at all times have 2 crew members). Throughout coaching and annually 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, however, don’t dedicate any time, effort or power in educating and coaching its crew members relating to this significant issue. To this point, no workers of Carnival or Royal Caribbean have provided 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 youngster abuse photographs of very younger kids.
The place Will This Finish?
Will cruise traces (aside from Disney) take this drawback severely and practice their crew members?
My wager is that youngster safety companies know the id of further crew members on cruise ships calling on South Florida who’ve downloaded or bought unlawful photographs. These companies are most likely coordinating with legislation enforcement to apprehend them when the ships the place they work return to U.S. ports.
Keep tuned.
