Quebec woman arrested in Bahamas for allegedly having sex with minor

Karine Gagné, 23, is accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old American boy earlier this month.

Chantale Auclair says her daughter, whose children are 3, 4 and 5, was on a cruise ship when she met a young male who supposedly told her he was 18.

Auclair told The Canadian Press the two had a sexual encounter before the boy’s mother filed a complaint with police.

Auclair travelled to the Bahamas where she spoke with her daughter this week.

She said several questions remain unanswered, including how a teenager found himself in an area of the ship normally reserved for adults.
