一名16岁少年因在与其他家庭成员一同搭乘游轮期间杀害并性侵其继妹安娜·凯普纳而被指控，法官已裁定，该少年在庭审前后均需被收押。
蒂莫西·哈德森今年2月以青少年身份被起诉后，最初曾获得保释候审，但在4月他以成年人身份被指控犯有一级谋杀罪和严重性侵犯罪后，治安法官埃德温·G·托雷斯裁定，他不再受青少年拘留相关规定的约束。
“政府已通过清晰且有说服力的证据证明，没有任何一项或多项保释条件能够合理确保未来社区的安全，”托雷斯在6月10日提交的裁决书中写道。
托雷斯下令哈德森于周一上午被移交给美国法警局，随后先被送往柑橘县监狱，最终不晚于7月10日被转至迈阿密-戴德县都会西部拘留中心。
据一名知情消息人士透露，截至周一晚间，哈德森已被联邦执法部门羁押。此前根据法院的保释令，他一直由其舅父监护。哈德森对指控拒不认罪。
检方称，2025年11月，哈德森与当时18岁的凯普纳以及其他几名家庭成员一同搭乘嘉年华邮轮公司的“视野号”游轮期间，凯普纳遇害。法庭记录显示，法医鉴定凯普纳曾遭受性侵并被窒息致死。
根据法庭文件，凯普纳遇害当晚，哈德森和她两人在共用客舱内的时间约为晚上7点51分至11点21分。检方指出，凯普纳用于追踪心率的苹果手表在此期间停止运行，他们认为案发时间就在此时段。
“本案指控的行为（被告在海上游轮封闭舱室内对一名年轻女性、其继妹实施的一级谋杀和严重性侵犯罪）所带来的危险本身就足以要求将其羁押，”托雷斯在裁决中写道。“一名现已被起诉的成年被告，有合理依据表明其故意剥夺他人生命，并在作案过程中实施性侵，这对其自身和他人都构成危险，任何宵禁、监控或托管安排都无法确保能对其进行有效约束。”
托雷斯补充道：“这并非预先定罪。无罪推定原则依然完全有效。”
托雷斯承认哈德森此前无犯罪记录，且在此之前一直遵守保释期间的各项规定，但他表示，这并不足以确保哈德森会继续遵守相关要求。
“无犯罪记录固然令人安心，但前提是这能预示其未来的行为，而此次被控犯下如此严重的罪行，且事前没有任何预警迹象，这削弱了无犯罪记录通常所能带来的行为可预见性，”他写道。“在最严重的指控悬而未决、被告被告知其自由取决于良好表现的情况下，数月来遵守保释条件，对于预测其在更长且更不确定的庭审筹备期间的行为而言，证据价值同样有限。”
托雷斯还表达了对其他未成年人与哈德森同住一所房屋的担忧，他写道：“自然的应对措施是将其与易受伤害的家庭成员隔离开来，这指向了羁押，而非其他较轻的监管条件。”
哈德森的庭审定于9月举行。

Stepbrother accused of killing Anna Kepner on cruise ship will be held in custody pending trial, judge rules

The 16-year-old charged in the death and sexual assault of his stepsister, Anna Kepner, while on a cruise with other family members will be jailed before and during his trial, a judge has ruled.
Timothy Hudson had initially been released pending trial after being charged as a juvenile in February, but after he was charged in April as an adult with first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse, Magistrate Judge Edwin G. Torres ruled he was no longer subject to rules regarding juvenile detention.
“The Government has established, by clear and convincing evidence, that no condition or combination of conditions of release will reasonably assure the safety of the community going forward,” Torres wrote in his order filed June 10.
Torres ordered Hudson be handed over to the U.S. Marshals Service on Monday morning and then transferred first to Citrus County Jail and then, eventually, to the Miami-Dade County Metro West Detention Center by no later than July 10.
Hudson was in federal custody as of Monday night, according to a source familiar with the matter. He had previously been in the custody of his maternal uncle, per his previous court-ordered release. Hudson has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
According to prosecutors, Hudson was traveling on Carnival Cruise Line’s Horizon with Kepner, who was 18 at the time, and several other family members when she was killed in November 2025. The medical examiner found that Kepner had been sexually assaulted and asphyxiated, court records indicate.
According to the court documents, Hudson and Kepner were alone in the cabin they shared from about 7:51 p.m. to 11:21 p.m. the night she died. Prosecutors allege that Kepner’s Apple Watch, which tracked her heart rate, stopped working during this time, which they believe is when the crime allegedly occurred.
“The danger posed by the conduct charged here (the alleged first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse of a young woman and step-sister of the Defendant while they were in confined quarters of a ship at sea) is sufficient by itself to require detention,” Torres wrote in his ruling. “A now-decreed adult defendant charged on probable cause with deliberately taking a human life, and sexually assaulting his victim in the course of doing so, presents a danger to himself and to others that no curfew, monitor, or custodial placement can be trusted to contain.”
Torres noted: “This is not to convict the defendant in advance. The presumption of innocence remains fully intact.”
Torres acknowledged Hudson has no prior criminal history and that, up to this point, he has complied with the conditions that were initially placed on his release, but said that wasn’t sufficient to guarantee he would continue to do so.
“A clean history is reassuring only if it predicts future conduct, and an offense of this gravity allegedly committed without antecedent warning signs undermines the predictive comfort that a clean record usually provides,” he wrote. “Compliance with conditions for a period of months, while the most serious charges were pending and the defendant was on notice that his liberty depended on good behavior, is likewise of limited probative value as to how he would behave over the longer and more uncertain road to trial.”
Torres also expressed concern that other minors were living in the same house as Hudson, writing, “The natural response, removing him from contact with vulnerable household members, points to detention, not a condition short of it.”
Hudson’s trial is scheduled for September.
