From the Daily Mail UK: One of Royal Caribbean’s employees has been indicted on charges of raping a 14-year-old girl while she was on vacation with her family.

Fabian Palmer, 25, works as a pool attendant for the cruise line, and is accused of luring the girl into a men’s locker room and having sex with her.

The alleged attack is the latest in a string of sex assaults on young girls traveling with their families on cruise ships.

The police report says Palmer first befriended the girl and her family before allegedly raping her and only stopping when another employee knocked on the locker room door.

Video footage captured ‘the likeness of Palmer,’ as well as the victim and a second employee outside of the locker room around the time the attack occurred, according to a complaint filed with the U.S. District Court.

The family left for vacation from Royal Caribbean’s port of departure in Baltimore, Maryland on December 17 aboard the Adventure of the Seas.
