A college football player with a history of sexual assault raped a 17-year-old girl aboard a Carnival Cruise ship as she was celebrating the holidays with her family — before heartlessly asking, “You good?”
James Thomas Kelley, now 22, was found guilty of aggravated sexual abuse, sexual abuse and assault in connection to the incident aboard the Carnival Legend between Jan. 1 and Jan. 2, 2023, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland said.
The running back for Wingate University had already been convicted of sexual assault as a minor in 2019 — and jurors heard testimony from six people accusing him of other sexual assaults, including when he was already being investigated by the FBI for the cruise rape.
