Two Kentucky moms say they were preyed upon by staff members at a Bahamas resort who raped them after their drinks were drugged.
Amber Shearer and Dongayla Dobson told NewsNation they’d been enjoying a Carnival cruise when the ship docked at Grand Bahama last weekend and they decided to hang out at a local resort. A staff member offered them a buy-one, get-one-free deal on drinks, Shearer said, and they were sipping their tropical cocktails on the beach—in broad daylight—when they suddenly realized “something was wrong.”
Just minutes after getting their drinks and after only a few sips, they said, family members they’d been communicating with back home expressed concerns the two women seemed really out of it. But both women don’t usually drink, they said, so they thought maybe the drinks had just hit them hard. They then decided to walk along the beach in search of sea shells to bring home to their kids, and a resort worker offered to show them an area where they could find “tons” of conch shells, Dobson said.
