Further details emerge on the Magellan Star incident: Piratical Incontinence?

That is apparently what happened. Fortunately, Marines are made of sterner stuff than the average bear. So there will be no lasting psychological scars. The horrid details:

“As soon as the first stack of [Marines] made our way into the bridge, their hands were up, their weapons were down, they moved to their knees and they were compliant,” Martin said. “At that point, they were pretty scared. One guy actually defecated himself. … He sh– his pants. I don’t know if that can go on the news or not, but that actually happened.”

In the interests of preserving piratical dignity, might I suggest a steady supply of Depends undergarments be made part of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s maritime raid force supply cache.
