two moms have a warning tonight for anyone thinking about traveling to the Bahamas this comes after their vacation ends in a nightmare Fox's William Lanes explains what happened I want people to be safe Horror in the Bahamas two Kentucky mothers say they were drugged and raped on Sunday visiting the Grand Bahama Island on a cruise they ordered drinks and quickly realized something was wrong feeling drunk after a few sips less than a few drinks into the second drink we knew something was wrong so
mething was terribly wrong the mom said a male Resort staffer offered to help them find shells the next thing one recalled she woke up being assaulted by a uniformed male Resort worker came too in the process of my rape Toxicology test showed the two women had several drugs in their system with almost no trace of alcohol the women say Carnival Cruise Line failed to alert them of a state department advisory for the Bahamas when they left the ship the alert told travelers to actually exercise Extr
eme Caution due to Crime including 18 murders this year in Nassau and frequent sexual assaults at all-inclusive resorts we had no idea what was going on in the Bahamas in a statement Carnival said in part our onboard care team provided support for the two guests as they sail back to Jacksonville bamian police are investigating the matter and Carnival is providing our full cooperation the mom's now warning other women after their vacation ended with an attack you shouldn't take any excursions tha
t aren't directly with the cruise line that you're booking you need to stay within those bounds the Royal Bahama police arrested two men in connection with the assault in Los Angeles Willi Lanes Fox News

Just FYI, this isn’t abnormal. This happens ALL THE TIME on cruises. My two coworkers went on a vacation to the Bahamas and they came back saying the island hotel staffer EVERY NIGHT came knocking at their door trying to hook up with them. Women traveling and walking around taking selfies are the prime targets and need open their eyes at how the world is a dangerous place.

@bowlampar

A female tourist getting free drinks in a foreign country's bar from a stranger does not always means that it is 'free'. πŸ€“

@archivalangel

Why is that woman smiling during such an atrocious story? Strange.

@hollyhughes5804

That is HORRIFIC 😒 Rule #1 Never ever take a drink from a Stranger

@jf8461

Really! Two adult women need to be officially WARNED to be careful while abroad?? C'mon now! 😀

@fritzzwickey

They took drinks and left the area with strangers how about warnings on dumb decisions

@mdalton7272

The other lady seemed like she wasn't upset......why?

@skyak4493

If it's any consolation, the Bahamas have absolutely horrific prison conditions.

@danielebrparish4271

Before cruise lines started buying private islands or building company owned resorts, they would remove some countries from their routes until they could prove that they got control of their crime problem. The economic pain of such a move was all it took for them to crack down on crime and beg the cruise lines to return.

@OGbobbylocdogg

They were getting some dark chocolate and somehow got busted. They had to cover up. Fellas, if your wife has to go on a "girls/wife" trip, it's over! Just grab your homie and cry. Get ready for joint custody and child support!😒

@Shenmue58

"We had no idea what was going on in the Bahamas." Sums up most people in America when it comes to the world outside their home.

@cmonson1354

Why are married women on vacation without their husbands and getting intoxicated?!

@LytsknMessiahLou

I thought people read travel advisories before they went anywhere in the world.....

@dmpi483

Just wait until the photos start showing up on the Internet.

@bobsmith6544

They went to a 3rd world country without their husbands and didn't keep an eye on their drinks?

@r160aexpress5

This happens to women when they go to bars at night getting free drinks, that's the risk you take

@OGbobbylocdogg

Wonder what the husband's think, now that the hotel footage says they are lying? Gonna suck going back to work.πŸ˜‚

@kegtappereiu

..... They have the tapes.... And the hotel stated that they basically fired the employees for breaking the fraternization policy (at the minimum).... And the dudes are saying it was consensual.... Long story short guys don't let your wives go on girls trips.

@cadetpatricia3921

Ahhh, the invincibility belief that it's "not going to happen to me" then the shock of becoming the statistic. Do your homework, plan, prepare, and get some street smarts.

@withoutartitwouldallfallap3628

It could really happen anywhere. Scary
