Intoxication and Consent on a Cruise | Bahamas News

A Belgian man, Christophe Hody, 47, pleaded guilty to indecent assault after allegedly targeting a 36-year-old woman in their cruise ship cabin—she’d taken headache meds and passed out, waking up to find him assaulting her. Both had been drinking the night before. He claimed she consented, calling it “affectionate,” but the magistrate opted for a warning and discharge. The case highlights how intoxication and consent can dangerously blur legal boundaries.
