Former Walt Disney former employee Jorge Diazvega is being sued alongside the famous family resort. Disney is accused of “failing to take appropriate action” over Diazvega
Walt Disney World has had a lawsuit filed against it after a former employee was accused of having more than 500 upskirting videos filmed over six years.
The huge resort brand is being accused of “failing to take appropriate action” over ex-worker Jorge Diazvega. The court paperwork alleges an incident happened in March 2023. Diazvega was arrested on a video voyeurism charge in April 2023 after he was questioned by Orange County deputies over accusations he took up-skirt videos of women at the Star Wars-themed retail store where he worked.
The arrest affidavit says he told deputies he had over 500 videos of women that he filmed over the course of six years. Diazvega was arrested again on video voyeurism charges in June 2023 after recording under two women’s dresses at a Publix in Osceola County, according to sheriff’s officials.
The lawsuit claims incident took place on March 30 where a 14-year-old girl was recorded by Diazvega at the Star Wars-themed retail shop. Laywers on behalf of the girl’s family, who are also suing Diazvega, state the child realised what was happening and “began hysterically crying and screaming” before running into a nearby bathroom.
The lawsuit alleges that Diazvega was also accused of recording a female coworker, an incident that had been reported to a supervisor, prior to the March 30 event and that Disney “failed to take appropriate action to prevent the incident from occurring.”
It alleges Disney “never fully investigated” the complains and had the company done so, “it would have discovered that Jorge Diazvega had a history of video-recording or photographing co-workers and unwitting guests without consent” and that he “posed a danger to the guests and other employees.”
The victim’s family is seeking in excess $50,000 in damages.
