Disney cruise staffers arrested

Immigration and customs officials have arrested 28 people, including several Disney cruise ship staffers, in a massive child pornography operation.

The arrests occurred after federal agents boarded eight cruise ships, including the Disney Magic, in San Diego.

Disney has confirmed it is fully cooperating with law enforcement and has a zero-tolerance policy for such behavior.

The operation targeted the distribution of child sexual exploitation material (CSEM) among maritime workers.

Passengers on board the vessels witnessed agents removing employees from the ships during the coordinated sting, which has sparked a wider investigation into potential trafficking networks.
