Encounter: From the video, it appears the man lifts up his hand to usher the girl into the elevator (left). She stands inside while the cruise employee has his back turned to the camera

Claims: Though the suspect's back blocks the camera view, he is seen speaking to the girl and bending down at some point during the encounter

Surveillance video shows the young passenger encountering the cruise line employee at 2:54pm, near the elevators shortly after she boarded the ship. According to estimates, a five day journey on a Disney cruises costs an average of $900 per person.



The girl boarded the elevator, where she said the man grabbed her breast, groped her and then kissed her, putting 'mouth on mouth,' she said according to a cruise security report.

In the video, the man's back is to the camera blocking a view of the girl.



She informed her grandmother of the assault and minutes later video shows the girl, her grandmother and her sister emerging from an elevator and making their way to the ship's customer service desk to report the crime.



Suspect: The manager of the ship's dining facility identified the man in the surveillance video as Milton Braganza, a 33-year-old dining room server from Goa, India

Allegations: Police in Nassau, Bahamas say the suspect Milton Braganza confessed to touching the 11-year-old girl's breast on August 7, two days after the incident

Security officers on the ship began investigating an 'inappropriate sexual act' at 3:22pm and at 4:40pm the dining room manager reviewed the video and identified the man in the footage as Milton Braganza.

There are more than 1,458 employees crew members who work on the ship.



The ship left the port at 5:02pm.



Braganza was called to report into security at 7:50pm.



Florida law enforcement were informed of the incident several hours later, on August 6.



Though the crime is alleged to have occurred nine months ago, details are just coming to light as the cruise line has been criticized for not immediately alerting Florida authorities of the molestation.



Because the incident occurred while the ship was docked, police in Port Canaveral would have jurisdiction because the ship was 1,000 feet from shore, Port Canaveral police chief Joseph Hellebrand told WKMG-TV.



Since they were not immediately informed, the suspect wasn't questioned by U.S. police or apprehended.



Instead, Braganza was questioned by Bahamian police on August 7 in Nassau because the Disney Dream is flagged with the Bahamian flag.



Cruise: The Disney Dream cruise ship can accommodate 4,000 passengers. Estimates suggest the average fare costs $900 per person

Jurisdiction: When the kid-friendly cruise arrived in Nassau, Bahamas (pictured), the suspect was interviewed by local police

During the interrogation, Milton Braganza admitted to police in the Bahamas, 'I touched her on her right breast with my left hand,' according to a police report.



Two days into the trip though, the girl's grandmother told authorities that she did not want the crime investigated.



Authorities in the Bahamas let Braganza go and Disney paid for the man's airfare back to his native India.

If it had been investigated in Florida, charges would have proceeded against the man in spite of the grandmother's opinion, Chief Hillebrand said.



Florida law enforcement are dumbfounded as to why officials would let the man go free.



A spokesman for Disney Cruise Line told the local TV station that the company 'took proper action' in responding to the passenger's allegations.
