Ahmad Sofyan is a 37 year old former Disney Cruise Line employee was sentenced to 6 years in prison Thursday after entering a guilty plea in court.
He admitted to charges that he molested a 13-year-old girl aboard the Disney Dream where he worked as a cabin steward while they were docked in Port Canaveral last year. He plead guilty to lewd and lascivious molestation and false imprisonment. The state wanted 10 years, but he took a plea deal and ended up only getting 6 years.
The victim’s family read a statement to the judge during his plea hearing about how the incident has affected their lives.
“Our family is currently still picking up the pieces, making phone calls and praying for resolution,” the victim’s brother said. “I am unable to talk about the details of this crime without crying or shaking. None of us want to discuss this cruise, which has definitely turned into a nightmare.”
“The last thing they had on their mind was that a crew member of a Disney company boat would assault their daughter this way,” Assistant State Attorney Russ Bousch said.
Once Ahmad serves his sentence, he will be immediately deported back to Indonesia by the federal government.
