MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - A Miami Beach boat captain’s legal troubles continue to grow as authorities accuse him of trafficking more underage girls.
Kutay Satiroglu, 45, was initially arrested Nov. 13 at a home on Pine Tree Drive where he docked his yacht. Authorities said he used the vessel to traffic a 17-year-old girl, forcing her to have sex with his friends for money.
“Human trafficking, lewd and lascivious battery on a minor and contributing to the delinquency or dependency of a child,” Judge Mindy S. Glazer said as she read the initial charges Satiroglu faces.
Since then, authorities have tacked on additional charges after another victim accused Satiroglu of similar crimes in 2021, when she was 17.
According to an arrest report, Satiroglu’s latest accuser began living with the suspect, three other girls and his wife and kids.
Shortly after, she was forced to attend yacht and mansion parties hosted by Satiroglu.
The victim also said “she was forced to consume several narcotics (tusi, cocaine, ketamine) and coerced to engage in sexual relations with several of his friends and partygoers.”
She told police Satiroglu benefitted financially from hosting these parties.
“The other females, including the victim, were considered as a party favor for the night and expected to have sex with these men and considered as part of the entertainment,” the report states.
The woman told authorities Satiroglu introduced her to several men that she was expected to sleep with and she “was in fear for her life and scared to say no to the defendant.”
The victim said what finally got her to escape was one night when “the defendant then states to the unknown male, ‘Do you want her? You can have her.'”
After hearing about his initial arrest, two women who say they were also trafficked by Satiroglu shared their stories with 7News.
“He tried to make a sexual advance on me, and because I said no, he tried to get violent with me, and eventually I was able to fight my way safely out of the boat, and I tried to press charges on him moving forward,” said Krissila Calderon.
“There’s no conversation about age whatsoever,” said Sierra Bush. “She said that she was assaulted and trafficked, and I actually was as well by the same man.”
The judge reviewed the newest charges against Satiroglu, Wednesday afternoon.
He remains behind bars and is expected to appear in court again on Thursday.
