Disney World employee charged with 32 counts of child pornography: sheriff

A Walt Disney World employee was arrested on Wednesday after the Hernando County Sheriff's Office said he was in possession of child pornography.

An employee at Walt Disney World was charged with 32 counts of child pornography after authorities executed a search warrant at his home.

The Hernando County Sheriff's Office said in a post on Facebook that they began an investigation into Michael Foster, 47, after receiving information on Dec. 16 that an individual at his residence possibly was in possession of child pornography. Foster is an overnight mechanic at Walt Disney World.

Detectives then seized a flash drive and several SD cards that were allegedly in a book bag that belonged to Foster, the sheriff's office said.

When detectives executed a search warrant on Wednesday at Foster's residence, they allegedly found "several additional digital storage devices."

Officials said that Foster admitted to viewing and downloading the pornographic images, and also admitted to owning the flash drive, SD cards, and book bag.
