Cruise line workers from Disney, others caught in child sexual abuse material investigation: reports
- On April 23, U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained 28 crew members across five cruise ships, including the Disney Magic in San Diego, during a major federal enforcement operation targeting child sexual exploitation material.
- Authorities confirmed all 28 subjects were involved in receipt, possession, or distribution of child sexual exploitation material ; CBP revoked their visas and they are being removed from the United States.
- Witnessing the arrests from the dock, passenger Dharmi Mehta called the experience "really disheartening and unsettling" as crew members in uniforms were led away in handcuffs from the Disney Magic.
- Disney Cruise Line dismissed the involved employees, citing a "zero tolerance policy." Separately, immigrant rights groups claim four seafarers were detained aboard Holland America's MV Zandaam on April 25.
- The San Diego Harbor Police Department clarified they did not participate in the federal operations, citing California's SB 54. Questions remain regarding crew vetting procedures and whether passengers faced direct risk.
