Multiple Men, Including Disney Cast Member, Arrested on Child Pornography, Sex Trafficking Charges

Just weeks ago, it was revealed that eight men were arrested in Polk County on child pornography charges, including the man you see at the bottom right-hand corner of the photo above, Paul Viel. Viel worked at Cosmic Ray’s inside the Magic Kingdom and was arrested and charged with 540 counts of child pornography on June 1, 2023. The Polk County Sherrif’s Office is searching for children who may have been sexually victimized after several detectives arrested the eight men, including Paul Viel. The men were arrested during Operation May’s Monsters, an investigation by the PCSO computer crimes unit which focused heavily on identifying those who possess and distribute child porn.

Update Provided on Children Who Were Victimized by the Eight Men, Including the Disney Caster Member, Paul Viel

According to the PCSO, deputies obtained, recovered, and seized over 1,200 images during the child pornography operation earlier this month. All suspects faced 1,280 counts of felony charges, with “more expected as the investigation continues to unfold.

Unfortunately, at this time, none of the children involved in these horrendous and disgusting crimes have been found, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. The children ranged from the ages of infancy up to the age of eight. When asked why Paul Viel moved to Florida to become a Disney Cast Member, he told law enforcement investigators, “It’s because that’s where the children are.”

A TikTok user uploaded a little over a four-minute video detailing the disgusting and disheartening crimes committed by the eight men, including Disney Cast Member Paul Viel. Be warned, the content discussed in the video is not for the faint of heart, but this type of information needs to be shared with the public to continue to watch our children at Disney for people out to hurt them.
