Disney may be the happiest place on earth but it can also be the scariest! Themeparks of any kind can attract the worst of the worst as perverts and human traffickers will use the distractions of rides and people to get what they want.
Recently a former Disney World theme park employee has been arrested. He has been charged after allegedly recording a video up the skirt of a park guest late last month. According to an arrest affidavit, his perverted behavior has been going on for years.

Responding to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on March 31 law enforcement officials spoke with witnesses who saw a Disney employee recording an “up-skirt” video of a female guest at the “Star Wars” retail store.
According to the affidavit, Jorge Diaz Vega, the 26-year-old Disney employee told authorities in an interview that he had “been taking videos up the dresses/skirts of unknown females in the Disney World theme parks for approximately six years.”

Diaz Vega worked at the lightsaber store. He told authorities he had what he estimated to be over 500 such videos on his phone and showed “multiple examples of the videos.”
“The videos were of multiple females who all appeared to not know they were being video recorded,” the affidavit states. During Diaz’s interview with detectives, the pervert claimed he took the videos “because it is hard to find them online, and they bring him sexual gratification.”
One victim, an 18-year-old woman, was told by a security officer later that day that someone had been caught taking video recordings under her dress.

Authorities said the young woman “was not aware at the time the incident took place, and she was not told of the identity of the male.”
Mainstream news outlets, like CNN, reached out to Disney for comment and to verify employment dates for Diaz Vega, a spokesperson for Disney said “The individual does not work for the company.”
