Customs and Border Protection deported eleven crew members from two cruise ships for possession or production of child sexual abuse material. CBP and cruise lines worked together to identify and remove the employees. The fact that CBP found eleven people on two cruise ships suggests this is likely a wider problem on ships than just these two cases.
Cruise ships are isolated vessels with minimal external oversight, which creates environments where abuse can flourish undetected. Finding this many perpetrators on this small a sample is alarming. It suggests the cruise industry has a systemic problem and that CBP's enforcement effort may have only found a small fraction of people committing these crimes.
