Broward County Judge sentenced Scavone to one year prison and declared him with the title of a sex offender. After the end of his prison sentence, he will be deported back to his native country Brazil.

Scavone and his teenage brother were arrested on the ten day Christmas cruise which was departing from the port of Fort Lauderdale. The teenage victim informed the police that on the last night on the cruise she met Scavone's 15 year old brother on the ship's Fuel Teen Club. He invited the girl in his cabin where his brother was waiting. According to the official documents, both males did not allow the girl to leave the room and raped her.

If Scavone decides to stay or return to the States, he would be registered on the national site which informs the general population of sex offenders in their community and would be closely supervised by the authorities.
