A Virgin Voyages cruise hairstylist was arrested and charged after sexually abusing guests on board, authorities said.
Pranit Narayan Pawar, 26, worked aboard the adults-only cruise line’s Brilliant Lady ship and allegedly "sexually molested multiple passengers under the guise of giving them a massage," according to a July 6 news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington.
"According to the criminal complaint, Pawar was hired to provide hair care services, but during a recent cruise to Alaska he began offering massages to women who booked hair appointments," the release said. "In one instance he allegedly offered a free massage to a victim if she agreed to book three appointments with the salon."
