Cops accuse New Hampshire man of rape on Miami-bound cruise
MIAMI – A man from New England faced a South Florida judge Tuesday on a first-degree sexual battery charge after authorities accused him of raping a woman in his cruise ship cabin off the coast of Mexico.
Deputies arrested Randy Gaul, 59, of Farmington, New Hampshire, on Saturday after the Norwegian Escape returned to PortMiami.
According to an arrest report from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, Gaul and the woman were acquaintances and shared a room on the ship. It states that the woman told detectives that she had had their beds separated by cabin staff at the start of the journey.
The report states Gaul and the woman had “consumed multiple alcoholic beverages” Wednesday night and the woman blacked out.
She said at around 1 a.m. Thursday, she woke up due to Gaul snoring and felt pain as she went to the bathroom, deputies said. The report states that the woman saw blood in her genital area and shorts while in the bathroom and, the next morning, saw blood stains on her sheets.
Detectives said she confronted Gaul about what happened and he admitted to having sex with her the previous night.
The report states after the cruise returned to South Florida, detectives took Gaul to an MDSO office in Doral and tried to interview him. They said he invoked his right to remain silent.
A Miami-Dade judge found probable cause Tuesday to charge Gaul with sexual battery on a helpless victim, ordering he be held without bond.
Jail records show he was behind bars in the Metrowest Detention Center as of Tuesday.

Drivers And Passengers OK After 3 Vehicles Collide On Clinton Street In Bow
BOW, NH — Bow police and fire and rescue teams were sent to a crash on Sunday afternoon, not far from a previous crash earlier this month.
At 2:30 p.m., Concord Fire Alarm reported a crash involving multiple vehicles not far from the intersection of Page Road and Clinton Street. About 10 minutes later, a battalion commander told dispatch there were three vehicles involved and two patients were being evaluated. Dispatch asked if EMTs needed a retone for an engine, and the commander said, “Yeah, why don’t you send them.”
News 603 posted a video from the crash scene on Facebook, linked here.
Just before 3 p.m., EMTs cleared the scene after reporting the patients refused transport.
The crash site was not far from a crash on May 1 that sent one driver to Concord Hospital. In July 2024, a fatal motorcycle accident, which took the life of Joseph Kasper of Weare, occured not far from the location of Sunday’s crash.
Not long after, Concord Fire and Rescue teams were sent to a downed tree on Merrimack Street by School Street.
The tree was knocked down after a small storm moved through the region around 2:45 p.m.

Let’s Talk Nature: The Value of Conserved Land
Join us for a community conversation exploring how land conservation supports thriving communities, healthy ecosystems, and local economies. Recent research from Maine highlights the growing economic value of conserved lands — from supporting recreation, forestry, agriculture, and tourism to protecting clean water, storing carbon, and strengthening climate resilience. The findings reveal something important: protecting natural landscapes is not only good for the environment, but also for the people and communities that depend on them.
Together, we’ll explore what this research means both regionally and here at home. How do conserved lands shape our quality of life, local economy, and sense of place? How can communities balance growth, conservation, and long-term sustainability? And what role can each of us play in protecting the landscapes that support both nature and people?
At each “Let’s Talk Nature” gathering, we share a short article in advance and come together for an informal, welcoming discussion. Each session stands on its own, and everyone is welcome. No expertise needed. Bring your curiosity and a willingness to listen and share. Drinks and cookies provided.
