Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Sued Over Alleged Voyeurism Incident Involving Former Employee

In a disturbing case undermining the sense of security that families expect at amusement parks, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S. Inc. is confronting a lawsuit following an investigation into a former employee, Jorge Diaz Vega, accused of recording upskirt videos of female guests, including a teenage girl at the Star Wars section of the park. The incident, initially reported in March 2023, follows Vega's confession to filming hundreds of such videos over six years, labeling it as a 'guilty pleasure'. The legal challenge questions Disney's supervisory responsibilities post allegations that prior misconduct was reported but not adequately acted upon. Fox 35 News and other media outlets have delved into the story, framing the potential liabilities of a major corporation against its duty to safeguard guests and employees. As the case proceeds, broader implications concerning workplace monitoring and guest protection protocols at large venues are expected to surface. The family's demand for over $50,000 in damages alongside a jury trial could set precedents, especially for corporate responsibilities in maintaining a safe environment.
