There have been at least 35 Disney employees arrested since 2006 and accused of sex crimes involving children, trying to meet a minor for sex, or for possession of child pornography, according to a six-month CNN investigation. Five Universal Studios employees and two employees from SeaWorld have also been arrested. So far, a total of 32 have been convicted, with the remaining cases pending. “Wherever you find children, you’ll find sexual predators that want to be there,” said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd. Disney and other businesses that cater to children need more leeway to use polygraph tests when hiring employees, Judd added.
