It's jerks like these guys that are exactly why women need to be more careful about who they associate with, especially when they're alone. I'm by no means excusing what they did, mind you.

I'm a travel agent, so I see the stories about this stuff. It's a black eye to the cruise industry, but, to some extent, stuff like this is out of their control unless they install cameras in private cabins. Should they be better about more thoroughly investigating things when they are reported? Definitely.

I have zero patience for anybody who physically or mentally abuses any creature who, for whatever reason is unable to defend themself. When I am Queen of the World, there will be an island set aside for them to live on for the rest of their lives, far away from the rest of us.
