Man Accused of Sexually Assaulting 13-Year-Old on Disney Cruise Ship
 

A 21-year-old New York man is reportedly under arrest in Nassau accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl on the cruise ship Disney Wonder, according to television station WFTV.

Investigators with the Bahamian police said that on New Year’s Day, while the ship was sailing in international waters, the man told the girl he wanted to show her "something" on a lower deck and, when she refused to go, threatened to throw her overboard.

Police wouldn't say where on the ship the alleged sexual assault occurred.

A spokesperson for Disney said the allegations were first reported to security personnel on the ship, who immediately notified the FBI. The FBI provided guidance on what do, and when the cruise ship arrived in Nassau on Tuesday, the Bahamian police took over.

Police said the accused man was being held in jail until his arraignment.
