Two American cruise passengers have been charged with rape after allegedly swapping places to deceive a woman into having sex with them. The incident occured on the Carnival Sunrise on December 15, 2025.
The 25-year-old victim told police in the Bahamas that she met Sayjuan Readous, 26, during the cruise and had a drink with him before consenting to having sex with him on the Carnival Sunrise. Readous allegedly left his cabin while it was dark, leaving the woman alone. His stepbrother, Antoine Flowers Jr., 28, then climbed into bed with the woman after Readous left the cabin. The men reportedly planned the event.
When the victim switched on the lights, she allegedly discovered she was in bed with a different man. She reportedly ran yelling and screaming, partially clothed, from the cabin after she realized she had been tricked by the stepbrothers, both of whom reside in Detroit, Michigan.
The two men have been charged with rape; Readous also faces an additional charge of abetment to rape, and Flowers faces a second count of rape.
This is the second rape alleged to have taken place on the Carnival Sunrise within a two week period period in December 2025.
