  • A youth counselor working on a Celebrity Cruises ship admitted to molesting kids on board, the FBI alleges.

  • The cruise company told Business Insider they fired the man and are cooperating with authorities.

A youth counselor working on a Celebrity Cruises ship admitted he molested multiple children while on board, authorities allege in a court filing.

In an affidavit filed last week in Florida federal court, an FBI agent alleges that Cris John Pentinio Castor sexually abused minors while working in the youth center on Celebrity Cruises' "Silhouette" ship.

Castor's lawyer declined to comment on the allegations.

Castor is a Filipino citizen who had worked on the ship since August, the filing says.
