A 56 year old Walt Disney World security guard appeared naked on camera as he approached a home ready to purchase sex from an undercover duputy, according to WESH.
What’s Happening:
- 56 year-old Winter Garden resident and Disney security guard Rodney Davis, was arrested for soliciting a prostitute according to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.
- A video was released of Davis approaching a home “without a stitch of clothing” where an undercover deputy was waiting inside. The sting operation was part of a 6-day investigation the Polk County Sheriff’s office had called “Operation: Santa’s Naughty List.”
- According to Sheriff Judd, the investigation led to a total of 124 arrests, five of which had the intent to sexually harm a child. 53 people were arrested for prostitution and 46 (including Davis) were arrested for seeking the services of a prostitute. Eighteen others were arrested for various other charges.
- According to Judd, seven of the women who were arrested for prostitution may be victims of human trafficking, with two of the women being taken to shelters and introduced to organizations that can offer assistance and support. Advocates even mentioned that the arrests for selling sex can actually be beneficial, as it offers the ability to get help for these victims
What They’re Saying:
- Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd: “This guy walked up to the front door of this home, in a neighborhood, on a cool evening, buck naked. Now, if you don’t know the difference [between] naked and ‘buck naked,’ ‘buck naked’ means you’re not even wearing your socks. He didn’t have a stitch of clothes on.”
- Christa Lynn, advocated at One More Child: “The violence against them is going to be stopping for tonight. They’re going to be hearing about services.”
