Former Disney security officer blows the whistle on coverup of child molestations on cruise ships.
QUICK FACTS:
- A Disney employee was caught on camera molesting an 11-year old girl on a Disney Cruise Ship in 2012, according to 100% Fed Up.
- Additionally, a 36-year-old Disney Cruise Line steward was charged with two counts of molestation and one count of false imprisonment for holding a 13-year-old girl in a cabin and molesting her.
- Dawn Taplin, Disney’s first female security officer, revealed the company’s coverup of the 2012 incident after the 2014 incident came to light.
- Disney authorities reportedly ordered the former security officer not to report to authorities, the officer saying that the company put its reputation ahead of children’s safety.
- The alleged molester was flown back to his home country of India at the expense of Disney, who arranged and paid for the flight.
DETAILS OF THE ASSAULT:
- One of the attacks took place while the cruise ship was still docked at Port Canaveral in Florida while passengers were still boarding and the whistleblower employee recalls that they “weren’t going anywhere for another two hours or so.”
- However, since they were still on U.S. land, Taplin notified the ship’s second-in-command and offered to call her FBI contact.
- “I was ordered not to make any phone calls, do anything at all. Nothing. Period,” recalled Taplin. She said she was told to “[j]ust keep your mouth shut” and that “[i]f a crime is committed while you’re hooked up anywhere here, it is an American, it is a United States, it is a Florida crime.”
BACKGROUND:
- News of Disney’s coverup has garnered more media attention as the company makes headlines for its support of the LGBTQ+ agenda, something that Newsmax called “hypocritical,” in their coverage of the company’s actions.
- Disney is also standing against Florida’s parental rights legislation that would keep talk of sexual orientation out of K-3rd grade classrooms.
