One of the men booked told investigators he used to zip into the Mickey Mouse costume at Walt Disney World. Judd said deputies caught him showing up to meet who he believed was a child while 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬, a detail detectives flagged as evidence of the specific fetish he came hunting to feed. He wasn't the only one clocking in at the parks between shifts hunting kids. Deputies say 𝟏𝟕 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟐𝟖𝟏 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐬, 13 from Disney and four from Universal, all netted in the same predator and prostitution sweep. Disney confirmed to the outlet that every employee implicated has since been 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝. The rest of the roundup reads like a warning label. A coach for the Davenport Titans youth football team is accused of messaging girls as young as 11. An active-duty Navy sailor was also booked. And 32 of the suspects were in the country illegally, while 24 showed up to their meetups carrying firearms. Disney can fire a man out of a costume. It can't erase the fact that a trusted character performer walked around children all day while nursing exactly the fetish he got arrested for. Polk County just proved these predators don't stop at the park gates — some of them clock in. 𝟐𝟖𝟏 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬, 𝟏𝟕 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞-𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐛𝐚𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬 — 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐲'𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬.
