Cruise Worker Accused Of Filming Teens In Rooms Charged In FL: Reports

SOUTH FLORIDA — A Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines staffer, accused of hiding cameras in guest bathrooms to spy on young girls and later using the footage to "pleasure himself," reportedly told authorities he tries to control it but cannot.

Arvin Joseph Mirasol, a stateroom attendant from the Philippines, was investigated after the cruise lines notified authorities of Mirasol's suspected behavior on Feb. 26, Fox 35 reported. He worked on the Symphony of the Seas ship.

Not only did Mirasol allegedly tell authorities that he puts cameras in the rooms if he likes the guests, PEOPLE reported he also told them he chose to record girls who were at least 16-years-old though authorities said he recorded girls as young as age 10.

Authorities found several videos of females undressing in bathrooms, as well as child sex abuse material, during the probe, PEOPLE reported.

Fox 35 reported Mirasol is allegedly seen in a video installing a camera in a bathroom.

After the cruise ship's arrival into Broward County's Port Everglades, Mirasol was arrested Sunday, PEOPLE reported.

County jail records show Mirasol was charged on suspicion of first offense video voyeurism 19 years of age or older. Fox 35 reported he was also charged on suspicion of production of child pornography and possession of child pornography.

Jail records show Mirasol is being held for the U.S. Marshals Office.
