Beyond belief: Two men accused of child molestation at Disney World are unbelievably the first two ever reported inside any Disney theme park or resort

Disney's previously unbelievable pristine record of no incidents of child molestation inside its resorts and theme parks just lost a little more credibility today as a second accused child molester in as many days was booked today for an incident of inappropriate groping at Walt Disney World, Florida.

Nicolas Groth is the second child molester accused
of groping children in as many days at Disney World
26-year-old youth baseball coach and second-grade teacher, Nicolas Groth of Oak Creek, Wisconsin is being held with no bond in the Orange County Jail on five counts of lewd and lascivious molestation for groping the buttocks of three different boys under the age of 16 at Disney's Pop Century Resort over the 4th of July weekend.

The incident occurred in the swimming pool of the hotel on July 3, Sunday night, and was reported around 9:40 p.m. when a 7-year-old boy and his parents called 911, directly bypassing Disney security, and told Orange County Sheriffs deputies when they arrived that a man grabbed the boy's buttocks three times while playing inside the pool. The story was corroborated by two more teens who said Groth did the same to them.

The likely occurrence of these kinds of incidents around pools is the reason why Disney's discrete policy to handle incidents of child molestation on property is codenamed its "Aquatics" procedure.

Groth was in town with his 14-years-old and under rally baseball team from Wisconsin to attend Disney's International Salute to Baseball Tournament.


Groth was located the next day at a baseball field at the Disney-sponsored event after disappearing from the scene on the night of the incident shortly after being confronted by one of the victim's parents.


Groth apparently told the boy's father, "Please, I didn't do anything. I'm a 14U Wisconsin baseball coach," before leaving the scene of the crime.


He switched hotels on July 4 to the Caribbean Beach Resort after staying two nights at the Pop Century, but was quickly identified because there was only one youth baseball team registered from the state of Wisconsin inside Walt Disney World.

Someone really screwed up inside Disney security today as news leaked out about a 27-year-old male Disney guest groping 6 females, including several children, inside Typhoon Lagoon. The PR damage couldn't be much worse as the story is now making national news.

The accused, Aman Bhatia, groped several female guests, including children,
at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon
Aman Bhatia, an Indian national, and a guest to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon was booked by Orange County Sheriffs on Sunday after he was accused of groping six female victims, including several between the ages of 12 and 15.

Bhatia is accused of stalking and groping several female guests inside the wave pool of the water park.

Usually when a sexual molestation incident happens involving a guest in any of the Disney theme parks or resorts, security is instructed to get a hold of the guest and victims as soon as humanly possible, prevent a call to the police from happening, quickly kick out the perpetrator out of the resort with a trespass warning without any criminal charges being filed, and then placate the victims with a large number of concessions and freebies (AKA "No Strings Attached" such as free dinners, tickets, souvenirs, etc.), so that the victims don't file a police complaint, and more importantly, the incident never has a chance to get out in the news.


Behind closed doors, Disney security often refers to this behind-the-scenes and long-standing hush-hush policy as its "Aquatics" procedure. It's called a codename "Aquatics," because Disney doesn't even want to acknowledge the possibility of child molestation of ever happening inside one of its properties and would rather swept any ugly incidents involving child child sex crimes under the rug rather than dealing with them appropriately with law enforcement agencies.

In essence, Disney would rather sweep any mention of such crimes happening on its properties under the rug in a coordinated cover-up rather holding child predators accountable for their actions to prevent them from harming others in the future.

Usually, this policy to cover-up these incidents are very effective in keeping scandals like this out of the news as you can see that there hasn't been an incident of sexual molestation ever reported inside the Disney theme parks, although they happen all the time.

After all, the policy is codenamed "Aquatics" because Disney already knows from experience it occurs more frequently in its water parks and pool areas, where children are in bathing suits and are more vulnerable to predators on its resorts than anywhere else.


We know of only three criminal cases of child molestation and assaults by crew members inside of Disney Cruise Line, but suspiciously, no where else on Disney property has it ever been reported.

Disney never wants any scandalous incident like this to be ever reported in the news because it's simply bad for business. When parents find out incidents of child molestation occurs inside one of Disney's theme parks, they are likely to think twice about coming, or even if they do come, they are more guarded, which of course, that means they spend less at the Disney resorts.


Unfortunately for Disney security, it appears, in an age where everyone owns a cell phone, it's getting harder and harder to keep victims silent from reporting any incident or crime before its security detail can get a hold of all the involved parties to contain the incident before it has a chance to leak out to the press. And that's what we believed happened here.

Cases of child molestation have been reported inside Disney theme parks,
although they have been reported three times on Disney Cruise Line
The news has reported that the accused was issued a trespass admonition by Disney, as is part of the "aquatics" procedures, but they couldn't keep the assailant nor his victims away from the police. So a public record was made that was picked up by the news.

The Orange County Sheriffs booked Bhatia on four counts of lewd or lascivious molestation on a victim under 16 years old and two counts of sexual battery.

News quickly leaked out about the incident, and field reporters quickly arrived at the Orange County Jail and waited to ambush Bhatia with cameras after he was processed out by the Orange County Sheriffs department.


Upon seeing the mob of reporters, Bhatia reportedly turned back and hid away from the press nearly seven hours in the lobby of the Orange County jail before making a mad dash for an Uber car he ordered to escape the gauntlet of reporters questioning him about the incident.
