According to the police report, the 65-year-old Sahibas allegedly assaulted the Florida woman while the two were on the beach of the resort.The woman allegedly told Sahibas to stop repeatedly, but he kept “gropping” her while they were in the ocean. She returned to Florida and filed a report with the Bahamas one week later.

He appeared in court and was charged with rape and indecent assault charges and released on a $15,000 bond. Sahibas’s attorney, Tamika Roberts, told the judge that he is a British native and wants to return home. The judge granted his request and allowed him to return, provided he returned to the Bahamas for a January hearing.

Disney’s Castaway Cay, a private island in the Bahamas, was purchased by Disney in 1996 and opened in 1998 as an exclusive port of call for Disney Cruise Line. Formerly known as Gorda Cay, the island has served as a filming location for movies such as Splash (1984).

Disney spent $25 million transforming the 1,000-acre Castaway Cay into Disney Cruise’s own private retreat. The Florida woman who made the allegations against Sahibas was not named in court, and there is no indication that she attended the hearing. The next trial date is set for January 21.
