A Walt Disney World Cast Member has been charged with video voyeurism after he was caught filming under a visitor’s dress at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, according to court documents.
It wasn’t the first time Jorge Diaz Vega, 26, of Kissimmee, had secretly filmed women at the theme parks, either.
Diaz admitted he recorded footage looking up strangers’ skirts and dresses for the past six years at Disney, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrest report.
“Diaz estimated he had over 500 videos on his phone. Diaz takes the videos because it is hard to find them online, and they bring him sexual gratification,” the report said.
He willingly showed some of his footage to law enforcement on his phone, the arrest report said.
“The videos were of multiple females who all appeared to not know they were being video recorded,” the arrest report said.
What finally ended his “guilty pleasure” was when he got caught on March 31.
Diaz had been working in Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, a retail shop located in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. He filmed an 18-year-old woman wearing a black dress with black shorts underneath who was shopping for lightsabers with her fiancé — as well as other women, he admitted — when another Cast Member noticed what was happening and reported it. The 18-year-old woman told authorities she had no idea she had been filmed at the store.
Diaz told authorities he had been diagnosed with an apparent condition that was redacted in the report.
“Diaz has no other diagnosis, takes no medications, and knows right from wrong,” the arrest report said.
He faces a third-degree felony charge of video voyeurism.
He did not have an attorney listed in Orange Circuit Court records.
Diaz isn’t the first Cast Member or guest to be arrested for video voyeurism at Walt Disney World.
In 2018, Eric King, a Walt Disney World Cast Member, was caught using a cell phone in an employee-only men’s bathroom at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and was charged with video voyeurism. Another Cast Member said he was at the urinal when he noticed King was filming him under the nearby bathroom stall, according to court documents.
Yanbo Jiang, a Chinese national, pleaded guilty to video voyeurism in 2014 after he took pictures of girls between the ages of 4 and 7 while he was vacationing at the Magic Kingdom, according to court records and media reports.
