Cruise passenger detained after camera discovered in ship’s bathroom

A cruise ship passenger was detained after a camera recording footage of hundreds of people was discovered in a restroom.

On April 29, Jeremy Froias boarded the Harmony of the Seas from Royal Caribbean in Miami for a seven-day voyage.

Prior to sailing back to Miami on Saturday, the ship was scheduled to stop in Sint Maarten, Puerto Rico, and the Bahamas.

Froias is accused of concealing a Wi-Fi camera in a public restroom on the ship’s upper deck on April 30.

The camera was spotted the day after by another passenger and reported to ship security, according to court documents.

Ship security seized the camera and found several hours of video files.

The footage allegedly included a clip of Froias hiding the camera and aiming it towards the toilet.

More than 150 people, including at least 40 children, were filmed by the hidden camera in various states of undress.

Froias was arrested last Wednesday in Puerto Rico and was charged with video voyeurism and attempted possession of child exploitation material.

A criminal complaint has been filed in San Juan federal court after Frois and the camera were turned over to the FBI.

A Royal Caribbean spokesman said: ‘The matter was immediately reported to local and federal law enforcement, and the guest involved was removed from the ship by authorities for further investigation.’

A lawyer for Froias did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
