WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
A Celebrity Cruise crew member allegedly admitted to molesting children in the ship's youth center during a weeklong trip from Florida to the Caribbean Islands, according to an FBI affidavit.
Cris John Pentinio Castor, a Philippine civilian, allegedly touched a 6-year-old girl's "private parts" under her clothes while she played video games, the child told investigators, according to the affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital.
Castor hid his actions from the cameras in the youth center, according to the FBI affidavit, so the footage does not "capture the contact directly."
However, the footage "is consistent with the minor victim's statement and shows Castor's hand reaching into (the victim's) lap, in the vicinity of her vaginal area," on Nov. 27, the affidavit alleges.

The Celebrity Silhouette departed from Florida on Nov. 20 and sailed to several Caribbean islands and returned to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Nov. 30.
That was when Castor was approached by law enforcement about the girl's accusations and was arrested the next day.
