Fortunately this girl was not harmed but it should serve as a good reminder that we, as parents should not let our guards down too much while at the Happiest Place on Earth. Right under our noses things happen everywhere. :no:

Registered *** offender caught touching young girl at Downtown Disney
A 24-year-old convicted *** offender was arrested early Wednesday morning at Downtown Disney after grabbing the buttocks of an 11-year-old girl who was shopping at the Magnetron store on the West Side with her family. Jose Angel Pamblanco Morales, of Orlando, was arrested for lewd and lascivious molestation of a child under 12 years old.
According to an AP story (link), the girl had thought that her mother had touched her backside to get her to keep moving but saw Morales instead, who then showed her a cell phone picture of a woman in a bikini. The family then headed to the Virgin Megastore, where the girl's younger sister saw that Morales was standing in the same aisle as they were. He continued to follow the family after they left the store.
After the family complained about Morales, Orange County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the area, where they found Morales in front of the BET Club on Pleasure Island. The victim positively identified him, and a subsequent check of the Florida Crime Information Center found that Morales was a registered *** offender.
He had been arrested in 2004 on charges of lewd and lascivious exhibition of a child under the age of 16 and exposure of sexual organs. He served 17 months of a three-year prison term and was released in May 2007.
