Former Disney employee recorded videos up women's skirts at park, authorities say 

A former Walt Disney World employee allegedly took more than 500 videos up the skirts of female customers over the past six years, according to police. 

Jorge Diaz Vega, 26, was an employee at the Star Wars gift shop at Disney World’s Hollywood Studios theme park in Florida. He was caught by a witness taking a video up an 18-year-old woman’s skirt, who was not aware of his actions, according to court records filed by Orange County Sheriff’s detectives. The witness recorded Vega as he attempted to take the upskirt video. 

After being detained and questioned by the police, Vega admitted that he had taken hundreds of videos because it was his “guilty pleasure.” He proceeded to show the police multiple videos he had stored on his phone. 

“Diaz admitted he has been taking videos up the dresses/skirts of unknown females in the Disney World theme parks for approximately six years,” the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said in an arrest report.

“Diaz estimated he had over 500 videos on his phone,” the police report states. “Diaz takes the videos because it is hard to find them online.”

He also told police that he suffered from borderline autism but was able to tell apart “right from wrong,” according to court documents. 

Vega was arrested on March 31 and was released on a $2,500 bail. It is unclear if he was an attorney. 

He is facing one count of video voyeurism, which is a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison. Additional charges could be pressed if more victims come forward, police said. 

The sheriff’s office declined to comment more about the case or the videos. Authorities also refused to comment on whether they are attempting to locate any other of the victims who Vega recorded with his phone. 

On Sunday, Disney World commented on the issue by saying that Vega no longer works for the company.
