A man was accused of giving alcohol to an 18-year-old woman and raping her Saturday while on a cruise, the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office said.<\/p>\n
The victim went to a club on the cruise ship, where she had an alcoholic beverage on her own, the sheriff\u2019s office said in an arrest affidavit. Cody Gray, 34, of Maitland, Florida, met her at the club and gave her three more alcoholic beverages while they socialized at the club.<\/p>\n
While they were there, she told Gray that she didn\u2019t want to have sex with him, the affidavit said. She was eventually inebriated and went back to his cabin, where he is accused of raping her.<\/p>\n
She was unconscious afterward when her parents were found and brought to Gray\u2019s cabin, the affidavit said. She told ship staff and her parents she couldn\u2019t remember what happened inside his cabin \u201cbut reiterated that she never consented to have any sexual activity\u201d with him.<\/p>\n
Cruise staff held Gray until the ship arrived at PortMiami, where he was arrested by deputies. Authorities didn\u2019t identify the victim or the involved cruise line.<\/p>\n
Gray is charged with sexually battery with no serious injury and giving alcohol to a minor, the affidavit said. He was being held Monday pending a bond hearing at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.<\/p>\n
Miami-Dade Public Defender\u2019s Office General Counsel Guy Robinson said \u201cwe have no comment at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
