Comments on: Sexual Assault of Teenager Aboard the P&O cruise ship, Pacific Star http://missingexploited.com/2007/01/28/sexual-assault-of-teenager-aboard-the-po-cruise-ship-pacific-star/ www.missingexploited.com Thu, 15 Dec 2011 20:36:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Karr http://missingexploited.com/2007/01/28/sexual-assault-of-teenager-aboard-the-po-cruise-ship-pacific-star/#comment-36213 Karr Fri, 13 Apr 2007 12:18:49 +0000 http://missingexploited.com/2007/01/28/sexual-assault-of-teenager-aboard-the-po-cruise-ship-pacific-star/#comment-36213 We just returned from a cruise on the carnival line April 9th 2007. My 17 year old daughter was missing on the third day. Her friends tried to cover for her, thinking as we did, that she went off with some boy and was making bad decisions. it turns out that she was sitting in an open and well traveled area with this guy. She remembers nothing after that but she awakened nude and numb. We found her after the security officers made announcements inside the cabins waking her up. We thought she was hung over but she let us know two days after we returned home that she was raped. We are now suspecting a date rape drug. OMG!!! I am mortified. How the heck are these kids getting this stuff and why can't we as a society dealing with so many sexual assaults come up with a better system to help the victims and prosecute the sick bastards committing these heinous acts? Now we have to go through what will be difficult steps to make sure our daughter is physically safe. When you are violated in this manner there are scars left behind that will never be seen.

Mum {aged mid 70's] can,t wait to go again, and I am saving. On a ship with something like 1,600 people onboard, neither one of us encountered any problems or anyone else who had. Yes people were in holiday mood and there were people who had had to much to drink, but I've seen worse behaviour in pubs and clubs in Sydney and elsewhere. Considering the huge number of people cruising, incidents like these, while abhorant, happen on land as well, and probably more often.

All the crime I have heard of on board and the cruise lines' refusal to change procedures or properly investigate leaves me angry and outraged. They act like Aruba in their willingness to keep it quiet and cover up sothey don't lose "tourist money". They don't give a rat's ass about victims and their families.
