Assault by Moorings Captain

A few years back, while chartering in BVI my wife was assaulted by a Moorings employee while on board. He told my wife if she said a word he would kill both of us, unfortunatley she believed him!! When we got back to the states the officials said due to the fact that it happened in another country their hands were tied

well ... you got the name of that captain ? Is he still working for them ?

These are serious allegations, but if true, dont hold back. Let us all know about it, so we can tell moorings that we wont charter with them as long as that creep is working with them.

A Captain on a boat ( paid for his duty or not ) has significant power, which that comes a even higher degree of responsibility.

After getting a call from Moorings, I have found out that he is a contract captain and works for any company that will hire him!

I still think Moorings is responsible while he was sailing for them contract or no.

ncdd, why are you bringing up the alleged assault "a few years" after the alleged event?
The kind of serious complaint you have made should have been followed up diligently at the time. Sounds a bit off to me.
