An 18-year-old student from Georgia and her watersports-athlete boyfriend were sentenced to four months by a Cayman Island court after she slipped out of her wristband monitor to watch him compete at a local race instead of quarantining after arriving from the U.S., according to local reports.
Skylar Mack and her boyfriend, Cayman Islands-based competitive Jet Skier Vanjae Ramgeet were jailed immediately after their sentences were handed down on Tuesday. An island judge issued the four-month term after overturning a previous sentence of 40 hours of community service and a $2,600 fine each, according to a report from the Cayman News Service.
“This was as flagrant a breach as could be imagined,” Grand Court Justice Roger Chapple told the court, according to the Cayman Compass. “It was borne of selfishness and arrogance.”
He also handed down the same punishment for Ramgeet, a local man who the jurist said should have been smarter.
Mack allegedly violated the quarantine requirements just two days after arriving at the Cayman Islands in late November. After asking government officials to loosen a wristband monitor that she said was too tight, she allegedly slipped out of the equipment and went to Ramgeet’s Jet Ski competition for hours, according to the reports.
She allegedly exposed four families, who were then required to quarantine. It was not immediately clear if Mack or the four families tested positive for the coronavirus.

From the picture at the website, she looks Not Guilty to me.
Sorry Skylar. Sometimes you can’t smile and flirt your way out of trouble. You’re not in Georgia right now.
Do not forget, there are some countries that either don’t like or are jealous of Americans to begin with.
Don’t give them a reason to make an example of you.
She is not guilty.
Let's not rush into things. In such a case an in-depth de-briefing could be necessary.
Not guilty at all.
Wake up folks.
If you can't see the handwriting on the wall by now, you'll never get it.
What awaits all humanity is global tyranny, and they haven't gotten started yet.
Yeah. "What?" is right. In other words, this jackass is a jobless bum.
Now we know what it takes to lock her up.
I’ve been to the Caymans. Probably the only place on earth where you go to a bank and it’s a mix of cia spooks, terrorists, dirty politicians, communist dictators are all sitting down getting money from their Swiss style bank accounts...
How hard can it be to quarantine in the Caymans ferchrisake? Sounds like paradise.

You’re not out enjoying the island. You’re in a room somewhere for 2 weeks. Sounds like torture.
Well, she’ll be a guest of Her Majesty in an even smaller room for the next four months. She didn’t have to go to the Caymans, she chose to go. She knew the conditions for being allowed into the territory. She chose to violate them.
Dude that’s a great starting premise for a spy thriller write that out.
But that still doesn’t make it right. The first judge said only a fine and community service so even the judges didn’t agree. I know one thing for sure I’m never going to the British Cayman islands. Too many islands where you don’t have to worry about getting locked up over a phony hoax.
