17 theme park employees were among 281 suspects arrested during a human trafficking and child sexual predation operation in Florida, according to police.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office announced a seven-day joint-agency sting on Friday.

The sheriff’s office led the operation, named “Polk Around and Find Out II.” It resulted in a total of 198 felony charges and 290 misdemeanor charges. The suspects’ previous criminal charges also totaled 358 felonies and 440 misdemeanors, a press release revealed.

Seven of the 17 suspects who reported working at theme parks or resorts were identified as child sex predators.

32 illegal aliens from nine different countries were among those arrested. 22 of them collect taxpayer-funded public assistance.

117 suspects were arrested for attempting to solicit prostitution by offering goods or money to travel to a location for sex.

122 individuals who had offered sexual services were screened by One More Child and the Florida Department of Children and Families for exploitation. 11 were identified as human trafficking victims.

“It is extremely disturbing when we encounter nasty child predators like these who are very eager to have sex with children. This is why we conduct these types of undercover operations,” stated Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd. “During this investigation, we arrested 7 predators who work at local theme parks, and a children’s football and cheerleading coach.”

Judd continued, “This is why it’s critically important that parents continually monitor not only their children’s online activities, but also to know who the adults are in your children’s lives. Keeping children safe is our number one priority, and we appreciate our partnering agencies, without whom we would not be as successful in apprehending these dangerous offenders.”

The sheriff’s office detailed 31 defendants who solicited undercover agents posing as children or guardians of children online.

Orange County Deputy Sheriff Eric Raymond, 40, who is currently a school resource deputy at Independence Elementary School, answered an online ad from an undercover detective, agreeing to pay $110 for unprotected sex, earning him one count of solicitation of a prostitute. He told detectives he was married.

“Orange County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Eric Raymond should have known better. His actions demonstrate moral turpitude. The online prostitution industry enables and empowers human traffickers, allowing them to profit off the people they exploit. Our goal is to identify victims, offer them help, and arrest those who are fueling the exploitation of human beings like Eric Raymond and those profiting from the exploitation of human beings,” Judd said. “Prostitution is not a victimless crime – it results in human exploitation, misery, disease, dysfunction, drug and alcohol addiction, violence, and broken families.”

The following were charged with traveling to meet a minor, use of a computer to seduce a child, use of a communication device to commit a felony and attempted lewd/lascivious battery on a minor.

Adam Snyder, 24, said he works at Disney World Toy Story Land. He sent social media messages to an undercover detective posing as a 14-year-old boy saying he wanted to “make out and cuddle and oral.” Detectives arrested him at an undercover location, and they found his Disney badge and part of his uniform in his vehicle.

28-year-old Colin Gormican also told detectives he works at the Slinky Dog Dash ride in Disney World’s Toy Story Land. He sent sexually explicit messages to someone he thought was a 14-year-old boy.

Disney World food services employee Alex Camacho, 25, sent texts to a detective he understood to be a 14-year-old girl, saying he was into “kissing, cuddling, 69, BJ, anal,” among other explicit messages. He drove to an undercover location with condoms and was arrested.

Disney World human resources employee Brandon Quispe, 27, also received the same charges after he disclosed online the sex acts he wanted to perform on an undercover agent posing as a 13-year-old boy.

A former Disney World Mickey Mouse impersonator communicating online with a detective posing as a 13-year-old boy. 24-year-old Collin Klaco said he loved “wetting accidents, sex, blowjobs, hand jobs, diaper changing time sex, potty training time blowjobs, getting bred, being diapered up, and being diaper changed,” also admitting he wanted to “do something in a public family restroom, according to the sheriff’s office. Detectives found diapers and wipes in a backpack he took to a location to meet a child where he was apprehended.

U.S. Navy Officer Dang Thai, 24, messaged an undercover detective he thought was a 14-year-old girl. Though he made several comments that he thought it was a sting, he encouraged the girl to sneak out of her house and meet him for sex in his car, telling her he was 17. He brought condoms to the location where he was arrested.

 22-year-old Odlanier Marrero Rodriguez offered to pay someone he understood to be the guardian of a 13-year-old girl one ounce of marijuana for an hour of sex with the child. In addition to his other charges, he was accused of human trafficking and possession of over 20 grams of marijuana.

Randy Brunet, 26, also sent messages offering an undercover officer posing as the guardian of a 13-year-old boy offering to trade child pornography for sex with the child. Detectives found child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on his phone and learned that he works at various Walt Disney World resorts, including the Swan and the Dolphin.

The head coach of the Davenport Titans, 31-year-old Rashion Crayton, coached children ages 11 to 14. Speaking to a detective posing as a 14-year-old girl, he said he was “tryna pull up and get a lil taste.” After arriving at the undercover location, authorities discovered lubricant and sex toys consistent with what he said he wanted to do.

Venezuelan national Hernan Sanchez Rangel, 29, sent sexually explicit messages about what he wanted to do to a 13-year-old boy to a person he believed to be the child’s guardian. His charges are enhanced due to his illegal status.

History

In October 2007, MSNBC and NBC News began broadcasting from new studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City.[47] The extensive renovations of the associated studios allowed NBC to merge its entire news operation into one building. All MSNBC broadcasts and NBC Nightly News originate from the new studios. MSNBC also announced new studios near the Universal Studios lot.[48] MSNBC's master control did not make the move to 30 Rockefeller Plaza. It remained in the old Secaucus headquarters until it completed its move to the NBC Universal Network Origination Center inside the CNBC Global Headquarters building in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey in 2007. In January 2009, Major League Baseball began using the former MSNBC building in Secaucus for MLB Network.
