FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Deputies in Broward County arrested an Ohio man after he allegedly tried recording a teenage boy in the bathroom while on a cruise.

Authorities took Kevin Six, 41, of Akron, Ohio, into custody on Friday at Port Everglades.

Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies said the 15-year-old victim and Six were sharing a room on the cruise, when the teen found “his friend’s phone in a concealed area.”

The victim told investigators that on Tuesday, he told Six he was about to take a shower and asked if he needed to use the bathroom first.

Six said yes and went into the bathroom, and then when the victim went in to shower, he noticed Six’s backpack inside, and Six’s cellphone camera “sticking out of his backpack in the direction of the shower,” according to an arrest form.

When the victim took out the phone and watched the video, deputies said it showed Six setting up the phone to record in the direction of the shower, knowing the victim was about to remove his clothes and bathe.

Deputies said the victim recorded the video on his phone and then told his grandmother, who said they should alert cruise security.

Authorities said Six and the victim were both placed in isolation until the ship docked at Port Everglades on Friday. A BSO report doesn’t identify the name of the ship.

Six refused to speak to investigators once the ship returned, and he was subsequently charged with video voyeurism on a child less than 16 years old.

He was granted a bond of $50,000 and was not listed among Broward County inmates as of Monday afternoon.
