A 41-year-old Colorado man accused of attempting to sexually assault a child has been returned to custody after trying to board a Disney Cruise Line ship while out on bond. Jonathan Kranich, of Aurora, Colorado, had received court permission to travel to Florida for a prepaid vacation but allegedly failed to disclose that the trip included a cruise. Authorities say he was among 13 men arrested during an undercover operation in which investigators posed as minors online. Police report that after his initial arrest, they found images and videos containing child sexual abuse material on his phone. Disney Cruise Line flagged Kranich before he could board the vessel, leading to his recapture for violating bond conditions. The incident has raised questions about how suspects facing serious charges involving children are granted travel permissions while awaiting trial.
