What happens when an alleged sexual assault occurs aboard a cruise ship—and the accused is a member of the crew?
In this episode of the Cruise Addicts Talk Show, host John Shallo speaks with Attorney Tom Scolaro, founding partner of Scolaro Law in Miami. We examine allegations involving a cruise passenger and a crewmember and the larger questions the case raises about cruise passenger safety, cruise-line responsibility, accountability, and maritime law.
We discuss what reportedly happened, how alleged crimes at sea are reported, rules surrounding crew access to passenger staterooms, onboard security measures, surveillance, background screening, and when a cruise line may potentially be held responsible for the actions of a crewmember.
We also examine whether warning signs or additional safeguards could have helped prevent the alleged incident and what cruise passengers should know about their rights when serious incidents occur at sea.
This episode takes a broader look at sexual assault aboard cruise ships, passenger protection, cruise-line accountability, and the legal rights of travelers at sea.
