The teen girl’s family is seeking $50,000 in damages, according to media outlets.

ORLANDO, Fla. — In 2023, a former Walt Disney World employee was arrested after he allegedly took an upskirt video of a 14-year-old girl. Now, that girl’s family has filed a lawsuit against Disney, media outlets say.

According to a report from WESH, Jorge Diaz Vega was working in the Dok Ondar store at the “Star Wars” section of the theme park. The teen reportedly told investigators that on March 30, 2023, he had intentionally dropped a toy, and while picking it up, placed his phone under her dress and hit record.

The lawsuit, which was filed on Friday, said the teen began “hysterically crying and screaming” and became physically sick when she realized what was happening, according to WESH.

When questioned, Vega allegedly admitted that he had taken upskirt videos more than 500 times over the past six years, according to a report from the Associated Press.

“Detectives said that Vega volunteered during questioning that he takes the videos as a ‘guilty pleasure’ and showed them multiple examples on his cellphone,” AP said in its report.

Another story from WKMG mentioned that the teen’s family is seeking $50,000 in damages, saying that Disney “failed to take appropriate action” and that his employment should have never happened.

Vega was arrested on March 31 and released on $2,500 bail. According to WKMG, he was arrested once again in June after deputies accused him of recording under two women’s dresses at a Publix in Osceola County.
