Multiple news sources are reporting that a Carnival crew member was detained today in Puerto Rico on allegations that he raped a woman onboard the Carnival Liberty cruise ship. 

Yahoo News says that, according to police, the alleged rape occurred in one of the cabins on the Carnival cruise ship which is now docked in San Juan following an engine room fire in St. Thomas, USVI last week.

The Carnival crew member was not identified nor charged with a crime. 

Carnival spokeswoman Jennifer De La Cruz said the woman is a cruise ship employee from Australia.  

The local police and a newspaper in Australia identify the victim as a tourist.
