The director of Disney’s Castaway Cay private cruise ship island in the Bahamas has been charged with raping an American woman on a beach, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.
Gursel Sahibas, 65, is accused of indecently assaulting the 29-year-old victim when they went for a swim at the shipwreck-themed resort.
Sources say the woman repeatedly begged him to stop but it has been claimed that married Sahinbas continued to grope her while they were in the ocean.
She returned to her native Florida following the alleged attack on September 22, but reported it to Bahamian officials based in the US one week later.
Her written complaint was passed to the Royal Bahamas Police Force and Sahinbas was arrested by cops from Great Abaco, the nearest island to 1,000-acre Castaway Cay.
The accused appeared in a Nassau court Thursday morning on rape and indecent assault charges where he was granted $15,000 cash bail and ordered not to contact the victim.
His attorney Tamika Roberts said Sahinbas was a British national who wanted to return to his home in Liverpool, northwest England.
Judge Petra Hanna agreed but said he must come back to the Bahamas for a January 21 hearing.
