A Holland America cruise ship worker has been arrested in Florida after admitting that he
raped and beat an American passenger during a nude cruise, before trying to
throw her overboard.
Ketut Pujayasa, a room service attendant on the Nieuw
Amsterdam, claimed he attacked the 31-year-old because she insulted him when he
tried to deliver her breakfast on Valentine's Day.
The 28-year-old, from Indonesia, told the FBI he used a
master key to break into the passenger's room at night time, and attacked her
in her bed.
The woman, who was on a Bare Necessities nudist cruise, was
saved after a fellow passenger pounded on her guestroom door, allegedly scaring
off Pujayasa who claims to have jumped to a lower balcony to escape.
Pujayasa allegedly told police he decided to attack the
woman, who has not been named, after she told him: 'Wait a minute, son of a
b****' when he knocked on her door with her breakfast.
'Pujayasa stated that the passenger's comment of "son
of a bitch" was offensive to himself and his parents. He was angry and
upset the rest of the day,' FBI Special Agent David Nunez wrote in a report
seen by the Sun Sentinel.
The steward had considered hitting the woman when he spotted
her on a deck later in the day, but decided it was too crowded, he told police.
He allegedly used a master key to get in the passenger's
room, and waited on the balcony for the woman to return to her room that night,
then hit her with a laptop and tried to choke her with the cord from curling
tongs and a phone wire.
