A cruise entertainer of the 'MSC Fantasia' allegedly has raped a passenger. A British tourist says she danced all night with the entertainer on the ship.

He then reported the suspected rape to the Spanish police. When the 'MSC Fantasia' berthed in Palma de Mallorca on March 15, 2024, the man was arrested.
