A perverted 38-year-old cruise ship lifeguard has admitted to having sex twice with an underage girl in his cabin, according to authorities.
Guatemalan staffer Rafael Cayetano Blanco, 38, was arrested when the MSC World America returned to port in Miami on Saturday — and is currently being held on an immigration detainer, officials said.
The accused perv told investigators he exchanged numbers with the 17-year-old passenger on Aug. 16, the first day of the cruise — and that she then went to his cabin that night and had sex, according to a police report obtained by NBC Miami.
She returned to the cabin three days later and they had sex again, police said.
Cayetano Blanco was detained Saturday when the ship returned to Miami.
He allegedly confessed to having sex with the teen and was charged with unlawful sexual activity of a minor.
He remains locked up on an immigration hold, records showed.
The massive ship, which can host more than 6,700 passengers and 2,100 crew members, left from Miami on Aug. 15 for a cruise with scheduled stops in Honduras, Mexico and the Bahamas, according to CruiseMapper.
“On discovery of a breach of conduct by a crew member and an alleged criminal act, we immediately contacted the relevant law enforcement authorities,” MSC said in a statement.
“We fully supported the investigation and provided every assistance to the guest. The crew member concerned has been dismissed.”
