Disney cruise line covers up child molestation in Port Canaveral

The incident occurred on August 5, 2012, when surveillance video captured an 11-year-old girl from Brazil being molested by a Disney employee in an elevator. The footage recorded the employee groping the child’s chest and forcibly kissing her.
The incident is not in dispute, but the now WKMG has been investigating the cruise line’s handling of the incident and the timing in question. At issue is a question of the country of jurisdiction and if Disney’s actions allowed one of its employees to escape U.S. prosecution.

The incident occurred just before 3 pm while the ship was docked in Port Canaveral, Florida. The victim promptly reported it to ship authorities, but the ship pulled out of port at 5:02 pm if nothing criminal had occurred.
The incident was not officially handled by law enforcement until August 7, when the former Disney employees confessed to the crime to the police in Nassau, Bahamas. At this point in the timeline, the victim’s grandmother had decided that she did not want the crime investigated.
WKMG alleges that if the incident had been reported in Florida, the employee would have been arrested for felony regardless of the victim’s family’s wishes. Felony charges for molestation are punishable by 25 years to life in prison.
Instead, Disney removed the subject from the ship and in the hands of Bahamas law enforcement, Disney arranged for the employee in question to return to India, as per standard employee contract provisions.
