PORT EVERGLADES, FLA. (WSVN) - A man was taken into custody in connection to multiple cases of molestation involving children on board a Celebrity Cruises ship.
According to the FBI, Cris Castor, a crew member aboard the Celebrity Silhouette, confessed to molesting multiple children.
The confession comes after, FBI agents said, the parents of a 6-year-old girl came forward and alleged Castor fondled their daughter on Nov. 27.
Investigators said Castor, a Philippine national who worked in the ship’s youth center, confessed to touching the girl in her private parts.
Authorities said there is video evidence capturing Castor reaching his hand into the girl’s lap.
Castor also allegedly confessed to molesting at least three other children.
Wednesday night, a spokesperson for Celebrity Cruises released a statement that reads, “We have zero tolerance for this behavior. We reported this to law enforcement and terminated the crew member, and we will continue to fully cooperate with authorities.”
Castor remains behind bars in Broward County.
