A 20 year old Brazilian man pled guilty this week to two counts of lewd and lascivious battery in the rape of a 15 year old girl on the last night day of a Royal Caribbean cruise.
Broward Circuit Judge Matthew Destry sentenced Luiz Scavone to one year in jail and declared him a sexual offender.
Federal officials will then deport Scavone back to Brazil after he serves his jail sentence. If Scavone returns to the United States, he will be required to notify corrections officials and be supervised as a sex offender.
During the cruise, Scavone and a 15 year Brazilian teenager lured the young girl from a teen center back to their cabin where they took turns sexually assaulting her.
The crime took place on Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas cruise ship.
