Randy Brunet
Introduction
Randy Brunet is a 26-year-old man from Kissimmee, Florida, who told detectives he works at various Disney resorts, including the Swan and Dolphin, and who walked out of Polk County’s record October 2026 sting with the batch’s most extensive charge sheet: 60 counts of enhanced child porn possession stacked on top of four other felonies. Per the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, he traveled to meet a boy he believed was 13 years old after messaging the child’s supposed guardian online, and detectives found child sexual abuse material on his cell phone when he arrived.
Background Information
Brunet’s stated workplace came from his own mouth: per the sheriff’s office roster, he told detectives he works at various Disney resorts, among them the Swan and Dolphin hotel complex. The arrest came in “Polk Around and Find Out II,” announced Friday, October 30, 2026 by Sheriff Grady Judd — a seven-day effort that produced 281 arrests, the largest sting in Polk County history, mixing child-predator stings run by detectives posing as minors or their guardians with a prostitution investigation. The New York Post reported that 32 of those arrested were in the country illegally from nine countries and 31 had prior prostitution charges; 11 people suspected of being trafficking victims were rescued during the week.
The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation
Charged, not convicted. Brunet was arrested in the sting and charged with felonies including traveling to meet a minor after soliciting a guardian and attempted lewd/lascivious battery on a minor. The allegations below come from Polk County Sheriff’s Office statements; nothing has been adjudicated, and he is presumed innocent.
According to the sheriff’s office, Brunet sent online messages to an undercover detective who was posing as the guardian of a 13-year-old boy. Deputies said he discussed wanting to trade in child pornography and to have sex with the boy — an alleged combination of intent that set his case apart from the simple meet-up stings around it.
When Brunet arrived at the undercover location, detectives reported finding child sexual abuse material on his cell phone. The resulting charge list is the longest among the child-predator arrests the office publicized: traveling to meet a minor after use of computer to solicit guardian, use of computer to solicit guardian, use of two-way communication device to commit a felony, attempted lewd/lascivious battery on a minor — and, towering over the rest, 60 counts of enhanced child porn possession.
Public Reaction and Consequences
The case fed the sting’s Disney-focused coverage: the Post reported that “an ex-Disney World Mickey Mouse impersonator and 12 coworkers” were among the nearly 300 arrested, and Judd confirmed that everyone still working at Disney at the time of arrest had been fired. WKMG listed Brunet among the child predators arrested in the operation, with the 60-count possession charge appearing on his entry in the station’s roster.
Judd framed the week’s work in blunt terms — per the Post, the point was to go into the underworld after “those who want to prey upon our folks” — and the volume of possession counts attached to Brunet’s arrest gave prosecutors, if the allegations hold up, a document trail the other meet-up cases lacked.
Current Status
Brunet was taken into custody when he arrived at the undercover location and charged as listed above, with the 60 counts of enhanced child porn possession making his the most extensive charge sheet among the child-predator arrests the sheriff’s office publicized. As of the October 30, 2026 announcements, no plea, court appearance, or adjudication appears in the cited reports, and the allegations remain unproven. He is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Impact on Their Career/Life
Brunet’s employment is known only through his own statement to detectives — that he works at various Disney resorts, including the Swan and Dolphin — and neither cited report independently confirmed his position or named a specific employer action against him. The documented consequences are the charges themselves, dominated by the 60 counts of enhanced child porn possession, together with Judd’s across-the-board statement that every arrestee who was still employed at Disney had been fired.
