According to USA Today, a Disney Cruise Line member has been arrested for the possession of child pornography.

What's Happening:

  • 44-year-old Tirso Neri from the Philippines was working aboard the Disney Dream on Disney Cruise Line. He was arrested for possession and transportation of child pornography.
  • Law enforcement found sexually explicit photos and videos of minors on two different phones in his possession.
  • An affidavit signed by a Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent stated that “the photos and videos included both children and teenagers.”
  • Neri told investigators that he downloaded the links for files from group chats on Telegram and Facebook Messenger.
  • When he was asked about the folders on one of his phones, which included one that had sexually explicit images of a 17-year-old girl, he said, “He must have saved it to his phone without looking at it after receiving it in one of the group chats.”
  • Disney Cruise Line shared a statement: “In accordance with our zero-tolerance policy for this kind of alleged behavior, this individual is no longer with the company.”
