Naked Disney security guard among 124 busted in massive prostitution sting
A DISNEY security guard was caught on camera walking into a house "buck naked" to meet with an undercover detective in a massive prostitution sting.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told reporters Wednesday Davis "walked up to the front door of this home in a neighborhood on a cool evening buck naked".
"He didn’t have a stitch of clothes on but he was carrying a shirt, I guess in case of an emergency," Judd said.
Of the 124 arrests made, 46 were people trying to pay for sex.
“Operation Santa’s Naughty List” ran from December 3 to 8, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Sheriff Judd announced the arrests Wednesday morning, saying the operation was carried out to “identify and rescue victims of human trafficking and also to find deviants who want to prey on children”.
Of the 124 arrests made, 46 were people trying to pay for sex. A further 53 were arrested for prostitution, with 18 others for offenses including mostly aiding, transporting and deriving proceeds from prostitution, according to the Times.
Police also said seven of the 46 arrested for trying to purchase services were nabbed on charges related to potentially preying on children.
