Couple says they were too scared to leave their cabin because of out of control underage DRINKING while security guards look the other way
moora.yourguide.com.au (Sunday, 28 January 2007) By Evan Schwarten and Jade Bilowol
The Seven Network reported the teenager claimed she tried to jump overboard after an older man raped her while two of his mates watched following a night of heavy drinking. The Network also said patrons claimed the cruise was rife with underage drinking while security guards watched on but did nothing, with one couple saying they were too scared to leave their cabin. Allegations a teenage girl was raped aboard the Pacific Star prove tougher regulations are needed to prevent a repeat of the Diane Brimble scandal, her former husband says. Mark Brimble, the vice president of lobby group International Cruise Victims (ICV), has questioned the effectiveness of a new advisory committee established by P&O cruise lines to thwart another passenger suffering the same fate as his ex-wife. But Mr Brimble questioned the independence of the committee, saying he did not believe the cruise industry was capable of self-regulation. Mrs Brimble died from a toxic cocktail of the date rape drug fantasy and alcohol aboard P&O's Pacific Sky in 2002, prompting a major public relations disaster for the company.
