Cruise Ship Worker Confesses to Rape, Assault, and Trying to Throw Victim in the Ocean

A cruise ship worker has reportedly confessed to beating and raping a woman on a ship Valentine’s Day and trying to throw her overboard into the ocean. Ketut Pujayasa was detained and taken in by the FBI before he was able to throw her from the balcony.

FBI agents say Pujayasa attacked her because “he believed she had insulted him and his family.” The insult in question? She shouted, “Wait a minute, son of a bitch!”

Later on in the day, he went back to her room and proceeded to punch and beat her with various objects around the room. As soon as the boat docked, Pujayasa was arrested by the FBI and the women was rushed to a hospital in South Florida.
