A Sketchy Florida Sheriff Says Child Molesters Have Been Working at Disney World
In Florida's Polk County, the Sheriff's department arrested 16 people this weekend in a giant To Catch a Predator-style sting. Those arrested include Walt Disney World employees Zachary Spencer and Allen Treaster, and Universal Studios employee Matthew "Cody" Myers.
On Monday, Polk County's colorful Sheriff Grady Judd talked to the press at great length about the weekend operation, called "Operation Cyber Child III." He painted a vivid picture of the suspects' monstrous deeds. But there are weird holes in Judd's story, and one of the local TV news stations has been watching him, and pressuring him for details he seems hesitant to divulge.
During a lengthy, legally unnecessary press conference after the announcement of the arrests, Sheriff Judd delivered a long sermon in which he reassured the people of Central Florida that he would double his efforts to protect their children. While his resolve is astonishing, and the cause is noble, the speech was unclear at times as Judd meandered, and took unnecessary detours while painting this batch of molesters as an eccentric, and weirdly talkative bunch of perverts.
