Menandro Lim Lanzar, 31, a crew member aboard Norwegian Cruise Line's Jewel, was arrested Friday, October 23, 2009 while the ship was docked at Pier 22 on the Halifax, Nova Scotia waterfront.
Lanzar said to be from the Philippines, was in possession of child pornography on his personal cell phone when Canadian police arrested him.
Blair MacDonald, a criminal investigator with the Canada Border Services Agency, said Mr. Lanzar was inspected as he was getting off the ship at Pier 22.
Lanzar working aboard the Jewel, was employed as a quarter master. He was remanded to the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility in Dartmouth.
Returning to court, Lanzar pleaded guilty in Halifax provincial court to charges of importing and possessing child pornography.
The files related to the charges were horrendous. One of the video clips depicted a woman sexually abusing a two-year-old boy wearing diapers. The other was of a naked girl who appeared to be about 13.
Judge Sherar sentenced Mr. Lanzar to 100 days on each charge, to be served concurrently.
