According to the sheriff’s office, four Disney employees were among the 108 arrests, including a Kissimmee man who worked as a lifeguard at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.Deputies said Xavier Jackson, 27, who worked as a lifeguard at the resort, sent sexual images and graphic descriptions of “what he wanted to do” to an undercover detective posing as a 14-year-old girl. Deputies said Jackson also bragged about working as a lifeguard at the resort.

Three other Disney employees were arrested during the operation, including a 24-year-old Orlando man who worked at the Cosmic Restaurant. Deputies said the man worked at Disney for four years.“This is huge,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said. “Four arrests of this magnitude is simply remarkable.”

Sheriff Judd also added 66-year-old Daniel Peters, of Illinois, to the list of arrests mentioned during a Wednesday morning press conference. Judd said Peters served as a judge in Cook County (4th Sub Circuit) and as a special assistant for legal affairs at the Cook County Sheriff’s Office in Illinois.
Polk County detectives said they identified prostitutes who posted online advertisements as well as “johns” who sought the prostitutes online. The sheriff’s office said the operation “had the intent to identify and free any victims who were being forced into prostitution (human trafficking), or anyone participating in the trafficking of victims.”
Several Disney employees and a former judge were among the more than 100 people arrested in connection with a Florida human trafficking operation, the Polk County Sheriff's Office announced on Wednesday.

The sheriff's office's vice unit arrested 108 people, including several sex predators and people seeking sex workers, during "Operation March Sadness 2," according to a news release. The six-day sting began on March 8.Among those arrested was Daniel Peters, a retired judge and a special assistant for legal affairs at the Cook County Sheriff’s Office in Illinois who was charged with soliciting a sex worker, according to CBS News.

Additionally, three worked for Disney in different capacities, CBS reported. Xavier Jackson, who is accused of sending sexual images and messages to an undercover detective posing as a 14-year-old girl, was a lifeguard for the Polynesian Resort. Also among those arrested were Wilkason Fidele, who worked at a restaurant at Walt Disney World's Tomorrowland and Ralph Leese, who worked in information technology for the company.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said the arrests of a human trafficker and four child predators alone made the "whole operation worthwhile."Sex workers identified by detectives during the operation were evaluated by anti-trafficking organizations to determine if they were human trafficking victims and were offered services and counseling, the sheriff's office noted.

"The on-line prostitution industry enables traffickers and victimizes those who are being trafficked," Judd said in a statement. "Our goal is to identify victims, offer them help, and find and arrest those who are profiting from the exploitation of human beings."
