On Thursday, May 11, 2023, authorities arrested Daniel Rivera in connection to posting content related to child p*rn online. Rivera allegedly posted photos of several young girls and women, that he claimed to know personally, on p*rn social networking websites. He also revealed their personal information on the sites.
According to investigators, Rivera was working at the amusement park for around 20 years and currently faces federal charges. Authorities reportedly discovered a file-sharing account that had child p*rnography content at Rivera's house and on Disney property as well.
A spokesperson for the company said:
“He has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the charges.”
The account that police recovered had around 155 posts. In many of these posts, the suspect shared images of women, who were dressed as Disney characters. As per WDW News Today, many of his posts had titles that were "indicative of an interest in young girls and theme parks." The website was reportedly taken down in March 2022.

Several law enforcement agencies including the Department of Homeland Security, Orange County Sheriff's Office, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, were looking into the matter. They discovered a hard drive at the Disney World employee's residence, containing pictures of girls in "erotic poses."
As per KATV, Rivera said:
“I have a problem, I guess. I tried to fix myself but I never could.”
It was also confirmed that Rivera has been obtaining such content about once a week for almost 10 years. He allegedly uploaded p*rnographic content online on a site stating that "hot teens in mouse ears are a weakness" of his. In another post, he addressed a friend’s daughter by uploading a picture of her in a cheerleading uniform and wrote that he was "fantasizing about having s*x and impregnating her."
The arrest took place months after the investigation began, which also revealed that his Dropbox account had several files of minor children, often below 10 years, having s*xual relationships with adult males.
