70% to passYou are in charge of a U.S. documented vessel. Under title 46 of the United States Code, if you fail to report a complaint of a sexual offense, you may be _______________.
A
civilly charged and fined
B
criminally charged and jailed
C
held personally liable by the victim and sued
D
All of the above are correct.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) civilly charged and fined. Under Title 46 of the United States Code, vessel owners and operators have a duty to report complaints of sexual offenses that occur on their vessels. Failure to report such complaints can result in civil penalties, such as fines, but does not carry criminal charges or jail time. The other options are incorrect because B) is too severe, as there are no criminal penalties for failing to report, and C) is not accurate, as the victim cannot sue the vessel owner/operator personally for this failure.
