Authorities arrested 281 people during a seven-day undercover operation in Florida, including 13 Disney employees and four Universal Studios employees, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said Friday, according to CBS News.
Judd said 31 suspects traveled to the county intending to have sex with a child. That figure covers a subset of those arrested in the broader operation targeting human trafficking and child sexual predators; the report did not specify how many of those 31 worked for either entertainment company.
Among the cases Judd described was a Disney employee accused of arranging to meet an undercover detective posing as a 13-year-old boy. The sheriff said the employee had his work uniform in his car.
Judd also identified a head coach for the Davenport Titans, a Florida team whose players are ages 11 to 14. The sheriff alleged that the coach traveled expecting to meet a 14-year-old girl.
Disney cooperated with investigators and told authorities it had fired all its employees arrested in the operation, Judd said. CBS News reported on Oct. 31 that it had requested further comment from Disney and Universal Studios.
