DHS: Underage Boy Sexually Assaulted Aboard Cruise Ship by Mexican Suspects, Including Man With HIV

Federal authorities will seek to deport two Mexican nationals – including one who is HIV-positive – who have been charged in a disturbing sex attack on a young boy aboard a cruise ship bound for Miami last week, according to reports.

The shocking incident allegedly unfolded last Thursday aboard Independence of the Seas, a vessel operated by Royal Caribbean International.

The victim, a 14-year-old boy, told police he was alone in a sauna room when two adult males entered and began to pleasure themselves in front of him.

The suspects then forced the child to touch them both, he said.

The victim says he was forced to perform a sexual act on at least one of the men and says he was also raped.

Jose Prudencio Diaz, 36, and Ricardo Daniel Mondragon Leal, 37, were arrested and each hit with multiple felony charges, including lewd and lascivious molestation of a minor.

Prudencio Diaz has been charged with having sex with another person without disclosing HIV infection status, and Mondragon Leal has been charged with sexual battery against a minor.

Additionally, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged detainers against the suspects, who are both citizens of Mexico and reportedly live in the same apartment building in Mexico City.
