The arrest report states that authorities with the Internet Crimes Against Children task force had been tipped off to Gonzales and federal agents conducted a border search of his electronic devices after the ship, which isn’t named in the report, arrived at Port Everglades on Jan. 24.
That search turned up the illicit, nearly nine-minute-long video, deputies said. It depicted a boy between the ages of 8 and 10 engaging in sex acts with a girl aged 12 to 14, the report states.
In addition to a felony child pornography charge, Gonzales is being detained on an immigration hold, jail records show.
Disney Cruise Line released a statement Thursday night regarding Gonzales’ employment status and arrest, which you can read here:
