Family sues SeaWorld, claiming assault at Orlando park

ORLANDO, Fla. — A Nassau County, Florida, family is suing SeaWorld for more than $100,000 after claiming they were assaulted by another group of guests last May and that security staff at the Orlando park did not help prevent it or assist them properly afterward.

In a lawsuit filed in Orange County circuit court on Feb. 1, Aimee, Michael and Connor Johnson, along with Holly Witt of Duval County on behalf of a child, allege they were seriously injured because SeaWorld security was lacking.

The plaintiffs say they were followed by a group of teenagers after confronting them for acting aggressively in line for a ride, and they could not find security staff before the youth attacked them, according to the lawsuit.
