Man Avoids Arrest for Rape and Sexual Assault on a Cruise Ship

March 22, 2016

Our client was taken into custody in the Port of Miami by authorities on suspicion of committing a sexual assault upon another passenger while at sea. Since the criminal defense attorneys at DMT are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the parents of the young man were able to contact and retain our services.


A lawyer from our firm immediately began investigating the case and preparing a defense to the allegations. Due to the smart and quick thinking by the parents of the young man, our firm had ample time to investigate the claims, research the law and prepare a presentation for the FBI agents, upon the ship's arrival. Once the ship arrived back at the Port of Miami, DMT was waiting dockside when the FBI agents arrived. We were able to present the agents with evidence and arguments compelling enough to clear the client of all charges.
