26 year old crew member reported being assaulted
I discuss a serious incident involving a 26-year-old crew member aboard Virgin's Valiant Lady who reported being assaulted by a fellow crew member and romantic partner while the ship was docked in Italy. The alleged perpetrator was immediately disembarked and sent back to Peru, while the victim remained in Palermo. I examine how the cruise vessel safety and security act's reporting requirements have significant limitations, as crimes occurring outside U.S. waters and involving crew members often go unreported in the DOT's database. I also question Virgin's policy allowing crew members to share cabins in relationships, highlighting how this situation demonstrates potential safety concerns with such arrangements.
