Florida investigators have arrested 11 men, including one employed by Walt Disney World, in a child pornography sting that also nabbed a teenager and resulted in the death of another person facing charges.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office said those arrested over the past week include a Disney World costume department manager, whom the park fired.
Another suspect previously worked for Merlin Entertainment, the parent company of Legoland, as a model builder at an offsite location - but the company released a statement saying he never worked at the theme park or had any "guest-facing or park-based roles".
Officials say one suspect, 21-year-old Andres Estrada, was killed Friday when he attacked a deputy and reached for her gun. Another deputy shot him.
The other nine suspects arrested in the sting dubbed "Guardians of Innocence II" included a high school student, college students and an 84-year-old retired engineer. Another was a 69-year-old retired teacher who had an annual pass to Disney, which investigators say he often visited alone.
Editor's Note: A previous version of the story listed one of the men arrested as an employee of Legoland.
