Hery Krispiyanto, 30, a bartender on a Carnival Cruise Line ship is set to appear in an Orlando court on the charge of raping a 14-year-old girl in April 2009. The girl told her mother in August who then told the FBI that Krispiyanto had raped her. Krispiyanto initially denied the accusation, but after failing a polygraph exam, he admitted to having sex with the girl.

The girl and her parents had reportedly become acquainted with Krispiyanto before the sex crime occures. The girl told investigators that one night when she was alone on the upper deck of the ship, Krispiyanto walked up behind her, grabbed her, and pulled her into a nearby employee-only room. Krispiyanto then reportedly began to touch the girl inappropriately. She tried to stop him and tried to fight back, but Krispiyanto proceeded to rape her, according to the criminal complaint. Krispiyanto is being held on a single charge of a sex crime with a minor at Seminole County Jail.
