Disney cruise ship staffers among 28 arrested in massive child porn operation

Families hoping to make memories on a cruise were unknowingly surrounded by alleged child predators working aboard the ships, according to law enforcement officials.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection boarded five cruise ships, including a Disney cruise docked in San Diego, between April 23 and 25 as part of ongoing Child Sexual Exploitation Material enforcement operations, a CBP spokesperson told The California Post.

“After boarding the vessels and interviewing 26 suspected crew members from the Philippines, one suspected crew member from Portugal, and one from Indonesia, officers confirmed all subjects were involved in either the receipt, possession, transportation, distribution, or viewing of CSEM or child pornography,” the CBP spokesperson said.

CSEM stands for child sexual exploitation material.

“CBP cancelled their visas and these criminals are being removed from our country,” the spokesperson continued.

“We have a zero-tolerance policy for this type of behavior and fully cooperated with law enforcement. These individuals are no longer with the company,” said a Disney spokesperson

It’s unclear which other ships the additional crew members may have worked on outside of Disney.

Predators go to where the prey is.

They also go to where there is little consequence for their vile acts. Citizens would face prosecution and likely incarceration. Aliens merely get a free trip home.

Supposedly someone asked famous bank robber Willie Sutton why he robbed banks and he said, “Because that is where the money is.”

Back when perversion was not as prevalent nor as accepted as it is today, it was scouts and choir boys who attracted the predators attention.

Times change, now it’s a Disney cruise ship.

It took them some time, but look at what the liberals did to the Disney brand and everything Disney.

Liberals ruin everything they touch.

“...now it’s a Disney cruise ship.”

Emphasis on “cruising”, as the perverts say.

When Disney went woke it hired the pedos — diversity, yah know. They are now embedded and cannot be fired. CANNOT.

So, Disney has to burn down to clean it out.

How can Disney vet people who come here from foreign countries? They can’t.
