Cruise ship passenger accused

A Virginia man has been charged with abusive sexual contact after an incident with a nine-year-old girl on a Carnival cruise ship that visited The Bahamas.

Justin Dale Sigmon, 47, who resigned as a Franklin County Sheriff’s Office employee on Friday, was on board the cruise, which departed from the Port of Miami on May 25, and a witness claimed they saw him touch the girl inappropriately. The witness also made a video recording to be provided as evidence.

An FBI special agent found probable cause to charge Sigmon, and he was charged when the ship docked in Florida on Monday of last week.
