A long-time Disney World employee and a Publix bagger were among the 13 sexual predators nabbed in an undercover sting operation in Florida, police said.
Working jointly with Chris Hansen of “To Catch a Predator,” the Polk County Sheriff’s Office targeted suspects accused of attempting to “sexually abuse, groom, and corrupt” children, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said at a press conference Thursday.
During the week-long operation, dubbed “Operation Cyber Guardian II,” officers posed as juvenile boys and girls — some as young as 13, Fox 13 reported.
Eight suspects showed up at an undercover location in Polk County believing they were meeting with a minor for sex, the sheriff’s office said in a statement. Police obtained warrants for the arrest of five others in different counties.
Three of the suspects believed they were speaking with a parent or guardian of a child who wanted to teach their child to have sex or arranged for the minor to have sex with the suspect.
