Disney cast member Jose Rodriguez arrested Monday for trying to have sex with a 13-year-old |
Jose Rodriguez, 22, of Ococee began communicating online on social media with undercover detectives from various law enforcement agencies across Central Florida who posed as juveniles in chat room or through messaging apps earlier this month. Osceola deputies said they arrested 10 men in total on various sex-related charges in the sting.
Rodriguez initially answered an online ad on Craigslist from a Lake County Sheriff's deputy who posed as an aunt looking for someone to have sex with her 13-year-old niece.
They exchanged messages about Rodriguez teaching the girl how to have sex, according to deputies. Rodriguez is alleged to have told the undercover detectives online, "I can teach her everything from foreplay, to oral sex to physical sex."
When he arrived, deputies arrested the not-too-bright Rodriguez in the Chris Hansen-style sex-sting operation on charges of traveling to meet a minor for sex and attempted lewd battery.

Rodriguez told deputies after the arrested that he worked at Disney World, but it's unclear what he does for the company.
Rodriguez also admitted that, while he did speak with the girl's aunt to arrange having sex with the minor, his real intent on showing up to the house, where he though the girl lived, was to report the aunt to law enforcement authorities. Deputies found a condom in Rodriguez's wallet at the time of the arrest.
Surprisingly Rodriguez is apparently only one of three men who worked at Disney who was busted in this same sex-sting operation, but the names of the other two Disney employees and the nature of their sex crimes have yet to be released to the public.
One is a contract employee for Disney, and the other is another cast member on unpaid leave, according to a Disney spokeswoman.
According to the same Disney spokeswoman, Rodriguez also "has been placed on unpaid leave pending the outcome of the charges."
Rodriguez was released Monday night from Lake County Jail on $10,000 bond.
