Story here. Excerpt:

'They’re lucky they didn’t get keelhauled.

Two pals who jetted from New York to Florida for a fun-filled cruise say they, instead, spent their weeklong vacation locked in the brig after a fellow passenger falsely accused them of rape.

Eviatar Mor — who was celebrating his 22nd birthday — and buddy David Amsalem, 26, sued Royal Caribbean Cruises yesterday over their grueling getaway in a “small, windowless cell” on one of the company’s luxury liners.

Their Manhattan federal-court filing seeks at least $100 million in damages each on grounds including false arrest and imprisonment, assault and battery, and “outrageous conduct causing emotional distress.”'

I hope these two men get a hefty award from the jury. A corporation is not a government entity. They have no right to detain and imprison customers on their property! Especially when an investigation was never conducted, and even after the woman had recanted her story!!!

A criminal investigation needs to be started in addition to the civil action. Someone needs to go to prison for kidnapping and false imprisonment.
