A Disney crew member is heading toward trial in Miami-Dade County on
multiple criminal charges that he engaged in lewd and lascivious
molestation of a ten year old child aboard the Disney Magic.

The Miami-Dade County Police Department arrested 24 year old Oliver
Lovatt on allegation that he sexually molested a young boy in the
“Oceaneer Kids Lab” aboard the Disney Magic last April.

The Miami Herald reports that “Lovatt blindfolded a 10-year-old boy
and spun him around several times as part of a game. It was at that
time he ‘fondled the victim’s penis outside of the clothing,’
according to a Miami-Dade police arrest report. The boy also told
police that the Disney youth counselor sat next to him while he was
playing a game building a house of cards. When Lovatt reportedly
moved his hand towards the child, the boy covered his genitals,
fearing he’d be fondled again.

Lovatt is from Manchester, Britain where he excelled in acting,
dancing and singing in his youth.

The Herald also reported that the molestation was captured by
surveillance cameras and Lovatt confessed to police that he fondled
the child.

The criminal trial of Lovatt (photo right, before he began working
for Disney) is scheduled to begin in two weeks on Octobeer 28, 2019
before Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Andrea Ricker Wolfson. Althought the
incident occurred in April, the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office
is just now asking the public whether “there are any other victims
out there.” (Anyone with information can call the Miami-Dade Special
Victims Bureau at 305-715-3300). There appears to be no efforts to
date by Disney to inform families who traveled on the Disney Magic
of the pedophile tendencies of its employee, and ask the parents to
be on the look out for signs of sexual abuse after their cruises.

Around one-third of sexual assault victims on cruise ships are
reportedly minors. And there have been many reported sexual assaults
of victims on cruise ships operated by Disney Cruises, which
obviously caters to children.

Here are some examples of prior cases where children were attacked
during cruises on Disney cruises:

In December of 2015, a 31 year old crew member was arrested for
molesting an 11-year-old girl. The crime also occured aboard the
Disney Magic. The Miami-Dade police detained the crew member when it
returned to the port of Miami, where he confessed to the crime. He
was charged with three counts of lewd and lascivious molestation of
a minor and sentenced to jail. We are representing the child and
her parents in a claim against Disney.

In 2014, a a 33 year-old Disney waiter molested an 11 year-old girl
aboard the Disney Dream at the port of Cape Canaveral. The staff
captain of the ship reportedly ordered a security officer to “keep
her mouth shut” after she investigated the sexual assault of the
child. Disney then sailed the ship and the perpetrator out of the
jurisdiction and flew him back to his home in India from the next
port (Nassau).


We created a Facebook photo album of images from the investigation
which was aired by WKMG Channel 6 in Orlando, which you can see
here.

A 24 year old passenger was indicted in 2010 for sexually abusing a
13 year old girl on the Disney Wonder. The girl attended a program
at the cruise ship’s teen club with other girls. The adult passenger approached the girls, claiming to be an employee of the cruise line,
and told them to return to their rooms. He instructed the child in
question to follow him because he was allegedly a security officer
with the cruise ship. When they reached an area where no other
people were around, he then assaulted the girl. A federal district
court sentenced the passenger to 46 months in prison and ordered him
to pay restitution.
