A crew member on the Carnival Glory cruise ship has been arrested in Canada and charged with smuggling child pornography into the country.

Nyoman Putra, 26, of Indonesia, an assistant room steward on the Carnival Glory, was taken into custody by Canadian Borders Services Agency officers at the pier in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

He allegedly had child pornography on his laptop computer.

The ship had called at Halifax on a 5-night Canada/New England cruise from New York .

Putra was arraigned in provincial court on a Customs Act charge, and was being held in a Nova Scotia correctional facility.

Halifax Regional Police may add additional charges, according to The Chronicle Herald newspaper.

A spokesman for Carnival Cruise Lines confirmed the arrest and says the line "fully cooperated with authorities."

This is the second such ship arrest this year in Halifax. In May, a Filipino man who worked as an assistant waiter on the Italian cruise ship Costa Atlantica was sentenced to four months in jail for possession and importation of child pornography.

Lastly
I am not your DEAR!
Do not refer to me as that, I find it condesending, degrading and creepy that you would have the nerve to call someone you do not even know DEAR!

As a matter of fact I was raped at knifepoint in 1979 So before you assume anything you should know who you are commenting to!
Also I have been a victim of all of the things you describe. I have been stalked by a woman who wanted a relationship with me that i did not want and she smashed out a window in my apt and told me if she could not have me no one would and shot me. 18 months of a colostmy bag. SO I AM SOOOO LUCKY!
AND as a matter of fact I do work for a shelter and you know nothing about me you are assuming facts that do not exist! You are worse than the men you describe because you should know better but you don't!
If anyone needs theraphy it is you, you have a dangerous hate of men and you need to channel that hate into something positive or you will put a bullet in your head or someone elses!
You are exactly like the woman who shot me, could not take go away for an answer!

Just for your information, because you will twist it around to make me not the victim. I did not even really know this woman, I met her once, never dated her, after she started the obsession I avoided her, I never had contact with her for 3 week prior to the shooting. She shot me while I was running to the kitchen phone to call the police.

I find it interesting how you choose to ignore the FACTS in my post to spew more man hating words. Such a pity that you ignore facts to place all of womens problems on men when women can be abusers also!
The numbers you quote are actually skewed and were taken from a poll conducted over 30 years ago Times have changed and you could be an abuser!

Excuse me Mark dear, But men do commit 95 % of of ALL sexual crime ion this PLANET. I must point out that it must be nice for you, to be a man, to walk at night, and not have to fear being stalked by rapists. I must further point out that you, as a man, probably have never been groped on subways, and on buses, harrassed on city streets, nor had some women cat call from a darkened alley and say filthy things about your body, either. Let me mention the threatening sex phone calls women get, the heavy breathers, the freaks that threaten rape, that scare the hell out of you. Women are ALWAYS being stalked, and are conscious of that fact, of being raped and murdered. We have to be, to survive. Your sex is not being stalked, the way women are, night and day. I bet you don't even think about it, between drinking beer, farting and rooting on your favorite sports teams and ooglling dirty degrading porn, depicting women as sex objects only. Go visit an abuse shelter Mark, and please, count all the men you find there. Hmmm. none right? YOU Mark, probably dont ever have to worry about any of this Mark, because you Mark dear, are a MAN, and as you must know, Men own the world.

EXCUSE ME!!!!
Women are discusting pigs too. You have a FEMALE teacher sleeping and getting pregnant by 1 of the TWO 14 year old boys she is sleeping with.
Men are not the only people abusing children!
Just as many women are doing the same things or even worse!
I work with abused kids in LA through "Children of the Night" We have women who sell their boys to drug dealers to pay for drug debts. The pimps then take these boy and "Break Then In" Do you know what I am talking about??? Then put then to work on the streets of LA turning tricks.
The youngest of these is 8 years old and his mom gave him to a pimp when he was only 5!
SO before you call men pigs again think about these women, Is what they did any better because they are women and as we all know when are so much better!

As a former patron of Carnival cruise lines, I know that there is a section for children and children do spend a good portion of their time in the childrens area for various events. How does effect the safety of children who attend the children section.
