More than two dozen cruise ship employees, including Disney cruise workers, were arrested by U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in a child exploitation ring bust at a port in San Diego.
In all, 28 people from three different countries — 26 from the Philippines, one from Indonesia and another from Portugal — were interviewed, and 27 were found to have taken part in the "receipt, possession, transportation, distribution, or viewing of [child sexual exploitation material] or child pornography," according to CBP.
It is unclear how many of those people worked for Disney Cruise Line.

Some of the other employees were still in their chef’s uniforms with their name tags on it," Mehta said, told the outlet.
