In April 2023 accordinmg to an F.B.I. affidavit in support of the criminal complaint and arrest warrant a day after the Royal Caribbean ship departed from Miami for a seven-night eastern Caribbean cruise, a man identified as Jeremy Froias allegedly hid a Wi-Fi camera in a top deck bathroom, pointing its lens toward the toilet. A day later, the camera was spotted by a passenger who reported it to the ship’s security staff. They found hours’ worth of footage showing more than 150 people, including what appear to be at least 40 minors — some of whom were at least partly naked, the FBI said.
