The father of an 18-year-old allegedly murdered and sexually assaulted<\/a> in her cruise ship cabin says her accused stepbrother is a “danger” who belongs in “an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs.”<\/p>\n

Christopher Kepner\u00a0told the Daily Mail<\/a>\u00a0that he is outraged that the accused murderer,\u00a016-year-old T.H., is still allowed to live with a relative despite\u00a0being federally charged as an adult.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re upset that he\u2019s still out. We\u2019re six months in, and he should already have been arrested, and yet he\u2019s free to do whatever he wants right now,” Christopher Kepner told the outlet. “That\u2019s our problem. He\u2019s been able to do whatever he wants and go where he wants, but the family\u2019s been sitting here unable to do anything.”<\/p>\n

T.H. was initially charged as a juvenile<\/a> on Feb. 2. He is charged with first-degree murder<\/a> and aggravated sexual abuse.\u00a0If convicted, the teen faces a maximum penalty of life in prison.<\/p>\n

The charges come months after the teen, affectionately called “Anna banana,” was found dead onboard the cruise ship during a family vacation with her father, stepmother, grandparents and several siblings.<\/p>\n

“I want to see him in an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs. He does not need to be free. He does not need to be in the general public, around any kids or women in general,” Christopher Kepner said.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s a danger to himself and a danger to others.”<\/p>\n

“He’s still saying that he can’t remember and that’s about it. He hasn’t apologized. He hasn’t shown any remorse for anything,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Monday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office<\/a>, Southern District of Florida announced that Anna’s stepbrother would be charged as an adult.<\/p>\n

The teen\u00a0is facing\u00a0possible life in prison if convicted, records showed. Fox News Digital has reached out to T.H.’s attorneys for comment.<\/p>\n

“Our hearts go out to the victim\u2019s family during this unimaginable loss,” U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Qui\u00f1ones for the Southern District of Florida said. “A federal grand jury<\/u><\/a> has returned an indictment charging serious offenses that allegedly occurred aboard a vessel in international waters. We will present the evidence in court and pursue this case with professionalism and care. As in every case, the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.”<\/p>\n

Anna Kepner was discovered dead around 11:15 a.m. on Nov. 7 inside her cabin<\/a> aboard the cruise ship. Authorities later ruled <\/u><\/a>her death a homicide<\/a> caused by “mechanical asphyxiation,” according to documents previously reviewed by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

According to investigators, she was found under the bed in her cabin, wrapped in a blanket and covered with life jackets. The cabin was shared with her stepbrother<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In February, T.H. was seen arriving in <\/a>federal court in Miami<\/a>. The teenager walked into the courthouse in a camouflage hoodie, his face concealed beneath a low-pulled baseball cap and a hood wrapped tightly around it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
