A man is facing charges after an 18-year-old accused him of sexually battering her on a cruise ship before they returned to Miami, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Cody Gray, 34, was arrested Saturday on charges of sexual battery and giving alcohol to a minor, an arrest report said.<\/p>\n
According to the report, Gray and the 18-year-old were passengers on the cruise that left Sept. 6 from PortMiami and returned Saturday. The report didn’t name the ship or cruise company.<\/p>\n
Early Saturday, the victim went to a club on the ship and had an alcoholic beverage on her own, and while she was there she met Gray, who gave her three more drinks, the report said.<\/p>\n
She told Gray she didn’t want to have sex with him but she became drunk and the two walked to his cabin where they had sex, they report said.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old was unconscious after having sex, but her parents were found and directed to Gray’s cabin, the report said.<\/p>\n
She told her parents and ship staff that she didn’t recall what happened in his cabin but said she didn’t consent to any sexual activity with him, the report said.<\/p>\n
Ship staff detained Gray until they returned to PortMiami, where he was arrested, the report said.<\/p>\n
Gray, of Maitland, Florida, was booked into jail, where records showed he was being held without bond. Attorney information wasn’t available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man is facing charges after an 18-year-old accused him of sexually battering her on a cruise ship…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":399622,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124,373],"class_list":["post-399621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-miami-dade-county"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399621\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
