MLAA has learned that the Hell-Ship where Midshipman-X was sexually harassed and brutally sexually assaulted by her 1st Assistant Engineer was the M/V Alliance Fairfax, operated by Maersk Line, Limited. Before being flagged in the United States, the vessel was previously known as the Maersk Willow.
As previously described by Midshipman-X in her horrifying account of the ordeal she suffered as a cadet aboard the M/V Alliance Fairfax, and based on new information, the Rapist:
Is a man in his 60’s
Served as 1st Engineer Aboard the M/V Alliance Fairfax
Is a member of the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association (M.E.B.A)
The Coast Guard Investigative Service has recently completed their criminal investigation into the Midshipman-X case, and the investigation report has been forwarded to the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Middle District of Florida where its fate rests in the hands of U.S. Attorney Roger Handberg.
MLAA seeks information from the public on a mariner matching the description of the man who attacked Midshipman-X aboard the M/V Alliance Fairfax. Any member of the public with information that might be helpful in the investigation and prosecution of the Midshipman-X case is asked to contact Maritime Legal Aid & Advocacy via our Contact Page, or to contact the U.S. Coast Guard via their “CGIS Tips” app, which is available in the iOS and Google App Stores. Tips to the U.S. Coast Guard can also be submitted via the web at the “CGIS Tip Form.”
Tips to MLAA or the USCG can be submitted completely anonymously. Readers of this article are asked to share it on social media in hopes that it reaches someone with information that could be helpful in this case.
