MIAMI – Prosecutors dropped the charges against a man who had been accused of molesting underage girls on a cruise ship.

Miami-Dade court records show the case against Andrew Thurston, 25, of Kalamazoo, Michigan, was dropped in early March.

Sheriff’s deputies had arrested him in PortMiami in late January on two counts of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child aged 12 to 16. Prosecutors would later take no action on those charges.

Two girls had claimed he had touched them during a party aboard the MSC Seascape.

Court documents provided to Local 10 News do not outline why prosecutors declined to pursue the case.
