An Ohio man attacked a 13-year-old boy aboard a cruise ship after the boy offered the man's niece a "keychain for her virginity," the Broward Sheriff's Office said.
Arturo Martinez, Jr., 30, of Toledo, Ohio, confronted and beat the boy at about 2 a.m. Sunday in the library of the Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas cruise ship, according to an arrest report.
When the ship docked six hours later at Port Everglades, Martinez was arrested, sheriff's officials said.
The situation began Thursday, the boy told investigators, when he made the remark while hanging out with the girl and some friends aboard the ship, the report stated.
