A Disney Cruise Line worker, identified as a 44-year-old crew member from the Philippines, was arrested on child pornography charges. This marks the third crew member at the cruise company to face allegations of child pornography this year. The crew member, Tirso Neri, was working on the Disney Dream ship at the time of his arrest.
The arrest was made by U.S. Border Control and Homeland Security agents after they discovered sexually explicit images and videos of children as young as 9 years old on Neri's phone. The investigation into Neri began on December 18 when agents boarded the Disney Dream ship at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and searched Neri's cabin. They confiscated two phones belonging to Neri, which contained numerous sexually explicit photographs and videos of young children.
