8:02 pm
employees have been arrested for sex crimes against children, trying to meet minors for sex or for possession of child porn. it's not just disney. five employees were arrested from universal orlando and two from sea world. so far, 32 have been convicted, 8 have pled not guilty and two have not entered a plea. to be clear, none of these cases involved children or teenagers visiting the parks, however, according to law enforcement, despite the most stringent background checks. child sexual predators are still being hired. >> do you think it was wrong to come here to meet a 14-year-old? >> this is 40-year-old allen trester who police say advertised himself as big teddy bear for young chaser. he was a concierge at animal kingdom lodge.
8:03 pm
previously working the toy story ride. he showed up to meet what he thought was a 14-year-old boy, hoping, according to his text messages to fulfill a fantasy. treester was communicating with an undercover detective. he has plead not guilty. however, listen to what he tells detectives during his interrogation. he confesses to having sex with a teenaged boy. just three and a half weeks before this polk county sting. >> he still went there for that. to have sex with them. knowing he was 15 years old. >> is that a fantasy? i mean, again, he was a younger age, so -- >> that's right, treester admits he drove to georgia to have sex with a 15-year-old boy he met

online. >> my life is ruined, my family's life is ruined. >> reporter: monitoring and fixing rides like tea cups, winnie the pooh and it's a small world. he says he loved his job. especially the children. >> to see the look on the children's faces, to -- you know, when they get to see prince charming or maybe running into mickey, that was the best part, seeing kids glow, seeing their heroes. >> reporter: that all ended in february, when king silver pulled into this drive way, not knowing that he was walking into a sting operation. within seconds, he is caught and arrested for trying to seduce and lure a 14-year-old child to have sex. take a look at the graphic text
8:05 pm
messages between king silver and the undercover detective who was posing as an underaged girl. king says he's a cuddling and snuggling kind of guy, who enjoys giving oral sex. >> the bottom line is, obviously you were talking to an undercover law enforcement officer, you weren't talking to a 14-year-old girl. the bottom line boils down to, conversations you had with a girl later on, was sexual in nature, was it not? >> yes, it was. >> even though he admits to police he wrote the messages, he tells us he was just trying to protect the girl. he has pled not guilty and says his family is standing by him. >> they know me. my kids know me, and they know how much i care for kids, they
8:06 pm
know how much i love them, all four of my kids. and they know that their dad is not somebody that would go out and hurt a young child. they know their dad is somebody who would go out and protect a young child at any cost. >> reporter: and the arrests are continuing. four disney employees were caught in sting operations in just the last five weeks. our investigation reveals year after year, walt disney world employees are getting arrested for child porn and in sex stings set up by florida police agencies. and it's not just maintenance workers like robert king silver. it's security guards, a performer, a costume maker, even a pastor. this is 50-year-old cedric cuthburt a former custodial manager at disney world's port
8:07 pm
laens resort. also a pastor. he was downloading child porn and soliciting a child for sex online while on the clock at disney. and at the same time writing a sermon for his church. >> what do you have to say -- >> reporter: cuthbert pled no contest and was sentenced to six years in prison. >> we go after these predators with a vengeance. >> reporter: grady judd is the sheriff of neighboring polk county, known nationally for his aggressive approach to child sex predators. >> i talked to a number of these men, and they said, it's entrapment, i was totally set up. >> what else are they going to say? are they going to get on national news and say, i'm a pervert? i'm a child predator? i seek sex with little boys? no, they're not going to say that, when they tell you that, look them in the eye and say, you're a liar. what you really are is a pervert, a sexual pervert and a
8:08 pm
child predator. >> reporter: this is 32-year-old patrick holgerson, a disney street performer and vip tour guide in training. he's seen here in photo after photo posted on his facebook page. he tried to run from police, when they say he showed up to have sex with a 13-year-old boy. it was a sting. holgerson had engaged in graphic sexual chat, even sending a picture of himself with mickey mouse and it got more explicit from there. he has pled not guilty. he too told police he was just looking out for the child. >> i was going to see if he was really doing this, i felt it was wrong and i was going to call -- >> reporter: disney declined our request for an on camera interview.
8:09 pm
but in a statement said we have extensive measures in place, including preemployment and ongoing criminal background checks. and computer monitoring and firewalls. the numbers reported by cnn represent 1/100 of 1% of the 300,000 people we have employed during this time period. we continue to work closely with law enforcement and organizations like the national center for missing and exploited children as we constantly strengthen our efforts. what does the co-founder for the center of missing and exploited children say about sexual predators being hired at businesses that cater to children? >> this is a real threat. >> reporter: ernie allen is the president of the international center. he says for every sexual predator that gets caught, there are still thousands of them we don't know about out there trolling for children. >> most of those who have criminal records are the dumb
8:10 pm
ones. they're the ones who have gotten caught. most of those who prey upon children, don't have criminal records. >> is there more that disney could do? >> i think there's more that disney can do, there's more that everyone can do, it's hard to imagine a company that's tried harder to address this issue than disney. >> disney's competitors, universal and sea world face the same challenges. this is 23-year-old matthew cody myers. universal studios fired him after he was arrested in polk county's most recent sting. police say he showed up to have sex with someone he thought was a 14-year-old girl. >> so when the sex was instigated by you -- >> yeah. >> what did you say to instigate the sex act? >> i was like, would you want to?
8:11 pm
>> want to what? >> have sex. >> take some deep breaths? >> i'm trying. >> myers told police he wouldn't have really gone through with it, and he's pled not guilty. universal told us, we have zero tolerance for this kind of activity. we deal with situations such as this immediately and permanently. like disney and sea world, the company also said all our team members undergo thorough background checks as part of the hiring process. sea world said, the safety of our team members and employees is our top priority, adding that it has policies and procedures in place, and we take appropriate action as needed. >> what we're doing with disney and everyone else is we're putting shackles on them, and then wondering why they can't win the race. >> sheriff judd says businesses that cater to children need to go one step further and use polygraph tests. >> anyone that works around children, whether it's in
8:12 pm
church, in the nursery, or whether it's at disney or any other of our theme parks, or whether it's in schools, we should be able to give a polygraph examination to them. >> reality is, congress citing privacy and civil liberties issues, has made it illegal for most private companies to polygraph employees. >> one tool that hasn't been employed. >> dennis ross, a former attorney for disney world in the late 1980s wants to change that. >> they're doing all they can with what we've empowered them to do. >> but the sexual predators are still getting hired, so -- >> which is why we need to be vigilant as a policy maker to give more tools so we can prevent the next one from occurring. >> after learning about our story, congressman ross introduced legislation that would give companies that serve children the option to polygraph employees. something disney told us it would consider. >> what's the ultimate result here? >> that we save the next person
8:13 pm
that's out there. we owe it to ourselves, we owe it to our children, to our future, to make sure that we do everything we can to make sure the next victim never happens. >> it's a fascinating report, i didn't realize about the polygraph. to disney's point, it is a tiny fraction of a fraction of the 300,000 -- >> yes. >> are these parks safe? >> that's a great question, and disney, universal, sea world, all insist, yes, this is a safe environment. and as we pointed out, none of these crimes -- >> were happening on the -- >> right, at the parks. but clearly this is an issue, right? there's more to it. and so that's why congressman ross has responded to our investigation and said hey, let's give them more tools. this is one more tool to help weed these guys out. you heard sheriff judd, he laid it out there, bottom line predators go where the kids are. >> this is not an issue of theme parks, it's a much wider
8:14 pm
problem. >> absolutely. and dennis ross also pointed that out. he feels if all law enforcement saw this story, saw what sheriff judd has been doing, this aggressive approach to sex stings, they could catch so many more sexual predators across this country. >> kyra phillips, appreciate you being with us. >> thank you. >> congressman ross will be a guest tomorrow night on 360 to talk more about his planned legislation as a result of kyra's reporting. as always, make sure you set your dvr so you can watch 360 whenever you wan want. ahead tonight, all those kids still coming to the united states, deportation flights getting underway, the first one arriving today. we'll take to you honduras and follow a mom and daughter who were on that flight returning to the country they so recently fled. what kind of future are they face something and does it include another attempted trip north?

8:19 pm
welcome back, breaking news, israel's security cabinet is expected to meet to discuss a peace agreement. senior israeli officials say the proposal is being taken very seriously. hamas is calling it a joke. this is the air war between israel and palestinian militants in gaza, in its second week. israel still pounding gaza. officials put the death toll at 186. 70% of the fatalities are civilians. more than 1,300 people have been wounded. u.n. officials say that 17,000 palestinian refugees are taking shelter in 20 schools in gaza. israel's military says hamas has fired nearly 1,000 rockets into israel. the cease-fire proposal that's on the table, what are the details, what do we know? >> the details are that hamas will stop firing rockets into israel.
8:20 pm
israel will stop engaging in air strikes against hamas targets in gaza, won't engage in any ground invasion, then open up some of the borders, restricted borders for gaza, through israel, through egypt, making life a little easier for the palestinians there, and promise over the next 48 hours, to have a high level israeli delegation, go to cairo, then they can start talking about other issues on their respective agendas. israelis seem to be welcoming it. the israeli cabinet, the security cabinet will have an emergency meeting within the next few hours, they're taking it very seriously. a hamas spokesperson told me he considers it a joke, the egyptians didn't even formally make this presentation to the hamas leadership. we'll see what happens. >> apart from hamas officially, what are people there talking about? how does the idea of a cease-fire being received in the
8:21 pm
streets? >> quite well, people were very happy, relieved to hear that there was a possibility of the cessation of the air strikes on gaza that have left well over 180 people dead and forced 170,000 people to leave their homes in the north. people are exhausted, life has been completely disrupted. they were hoping there would be an end to these hostilities. perhaps the problem is, hamas despite all the rockets it's fired into israel hasn't really got much to show for it. all that gaza has is more than 180 new dead people. but very little in terms of any sort of real damage inflicted on the israelis from hamas' perspective, it's a sort of complete disconnect between what ordinary gazans would like to see and what hamas would like to see. >> israel is claiming to have
8:22 pm
downed a kroin from gaza. there's video. do we know much about this? >> the israelis told me it's not sophisticated, but it does have some explosive capability it potentially could kill some israelis, they're taking it seriously. it's not the highest tech drone, but it is a drone. it flew across israeli airspace and the israelis managed to shoot it down. >> interesting what that you said people on the street, how they're viewing it. does hamas come out of this stronger or weaker? >> if there is a cease-fire, as i said, they won't have much to show unless there's a dramatic change in the quality of life. it's getting difficult here hamas will have a hard time explaining to the people of gaza why so many people had to be
8:23 pm
killed, so many wounded. it's more than 1,300. hundreds of houses have been destroyed. they really don't have much to show for this almost eight days of air strikes and they're going to be on the defensive politically. >> appreciate it, thank you. we have breaking news tonight out of honduras. the first deportation flight arriving there. because of what we've been reporting, the deportees say they'll try again. we want to show you what that means. gary is coming back on the train known as the train of death. ♪

8:29 pm
florez in honduras. you were there when the plane landed. they started processing deportees, what happened? >> i talked to one of the workers that helped process these children and these women, and she tells me that the stories varied from women who were escaping violence and women that were unemployed and they wanted an opportunity for their lives, i got access to the list of these women. women as old as 49 years old to children as young as 6 months old. we saw that well with her baby on her arms getting on to the bus. that's what happens, they get processed in the building behind me, they get on a bus, they're back in their country free, perhaps back to that same violence and the same poverty that they were escaping. >> what did they tell you? i know you followed the bus of deportees? you are, you talked to some of them.
8:30 pm
>> we talk to one woman and her eyes were swollen because she had been so emotional. as soon as she got on the plane she started crying, and she travelled from honduras to the united states with her 6-year-old daughter. and her 6-year-old daughter was a little sick, not feeling well. her daughter told me they got on trains, it was a very scary experience for her. they walked through the forest at night sometimes. she said she pointed out this little girl saying sometimes she saw monkeys and snakes, it was a very frightening experience. i asked this woman, what are you expecting now that you're right back where you began? she said there is nothing here for her. i have a child and i want something better for her. >> we're getting a few satellite hits, so you know. you were in honduras a few months ago, when a group of men were returned to the country by plane. was that arrival different than today? >> reporter: it certainly was. when that arrival happened, we
8:31 pm
had full access. now, again, these were men deported to honduras on a commercial plane. they arrived shackled, their hands and feet were shackled. we talked to them. a woman told me when it comes to women and children, they're just on a commercial flight, they arrive, and they're free to go. because we got access -- >> we have to drop out. rosa, i'm sorry, we're having a lot of hits, probably weather issue. we appreciate the reporting in honduras. as we mentioned until their day in court, the tens of thousands of undocumented minors flowing across the border, they need to be accommodated somehow, put up somewhere. in parts of the country, people have been saying, not here, not in my community, this is murrieta california, north of san diego.
8:32 pm
the federal government has been sending kids far and wide, including to nebraska where the governor is far from pleased at how it's being done in his case. these 200 children brought to your state in recent months, is it true you were told nothing about them coming? >> that's exactly right. i only learned last thursday or friday when senator johanns found out. illegal children to our state. no mayor has been notified. i have not been notified. >> do you know they are all children? do you know anything about them? >> we don't know anything about them right now, other than the department of health and human services has said they're in our state. i requested of their office and we're sending a letter to their office that we're signing, dion demanding and requesting, who
8:33 pm
are these illegal individuals? who are they going to be sponsored by and what's their status? and where are they located? our concern is the cost. and they're not supposed to be receiving federal or state taxpayer funded benefits, and the easiest way for us to make sure that doesn't happen is to know who they are. >> a spokesman for the department of health and human services says they're legally barred from giving you any information because of privacy concerns. do you buy that? >> no, i don't. these are illegal individuals. these aren't legal american citizens. i'm not quite buying that argument, i'm pleased to tell you that senator johanns of nebraska, they're going to introduce legislation requiring the secretary of health and human services to share this information. and i suspect that will be part of the debate in the next week or two about how they're going to move forward in that regard. >> how much of this is about politics? obviously you're a staunch opponent of president obama, you have 45,000 undocumented
8:34 pm
immigrants in your state. does 200 kids really make a difference? >> it's not just the 200. it's 200 today, how many it is tomorrow, this isn't about partisan politics, i agree with the president, we will treat them humanely while they're here. we should expeditiously return them to their country of origin. it's not about politics. talk to governors of both parties. governor hickenlooper, he's expressing the same concerns i am. >> as you hear about the conditions some of these kids are living in, in a place like honduras, where drug lords run the elementary schools, do you see them? do you think any of them have a right to be here as refugees? do you see them in that way at all? just on humanitarian grounds? or should they all be returned back to their countries of
8:35 pm
origin? >> there could be a few that will qualify on humanitarian grounds. i don't know enough of the details especially when they won't share anything with us. i know a lot of citizens are concerned will they have vaccinations as they get into you are our schools. we need more information, this is a crisis. this is an extraordinary situation that demands action by the federal government. and the key to secure the border in the first place, we wouldn't have this challenge. >> governor, appreciate your time tonight, thank you. >> thank you, anderson. >> next morning the train that the mother and child kyra florez spoke to. gary is on it. sometime they die riding on it to get north. the 15-year-old girl who witnessed her family's massacre. she was nearly killed herself, she survived and is now speaking out for justice. e crohn's disease is tough, but i've managed. ♪

when they go from guatemala to mexico. this is the southern mexico border city, people that want to cross it going from guatemala to mexico is easy. this is where the serious business starts. illegal immigration business is very open. look at this explicit sign, it says in spanish. welcome to the coyote pass. coyotes are human smugglers. the human smugglers, this is where people come to find human smugglers to get to the united states border. there are people up there, when we looked at them, they saw we had cameras, many of them scattered. passenger vans that snake through the border areas are all part of the equation. these vans are often very crowded as this one is, also very hot, no air conditioning. mostly commuters going about an hour drive to the southern portion of mexico. often undocumented migrants are on this bus so they can get services, food, medical care while they plan their journeys up north. often, undocumented migrants have no money and can't afford these vans.
8:42 pm
they have to figure out how to start their journey. just before we got on this van, we found a man who wants to get to the united states, but didn't have enough money to get on this van. this is luis moreno, he doesn't speak any english, but we've been talking to him a little bit. this is a man from guatemala, he's here in mexico right now, he wants to go to the united states, and as a matter of fact he's been there. and he's been caught three times by authorities and sent back to guatemala, also very interesting about luis, he's been caught five times here in the nation of mexico. not in the border, but other cities, four of times he was on the beast, a train where so many people get hurt. he was riding on top of the train, tied down so he wouldn't fall off. he was caught four times in the train, one time on a bus. in eight times he's been sent back to guatemala, he still says he's ready to go back. >> translator: i want to go to the u.s. and work and help out my family. i can't do it where i'm from. >> reporter: one of the places

migrants come to for medical help is this catholic church and clinic. this is when you're seriously hurt or sick, for example, this man right here, you can see his foot. he was in the united states, got kicked out, came back to mexico and got hit by a car while crossing, really messed up his ankle. he still wants to go back to the united states but won't be able to walk for a couple weeks. we have this gentleman here. he is missing his leg and he was also in an accident. this baby was born here, six days ago, and this woman right here, this is malitza -- she's 20 years old, she is the sister of the baby. and this is her daughter. her mother's here too. her mother gave birth to the baby. they came from honduras, they hope to get to the united states some day. that's what she just told me. right now they're hear for the medical care of the baby being born, also some food and hoping to get some shelter for the next few days before they can continue. >> the journey to the united states is long and dangerous.
8:44 pm
success is anything but assured. >> how long a journey does it take, for somebody who's trying to get from mexico to the southern border to the u.s. border. >> thousands of people take this beast, if they're not hurt if they're not killed, if they don't fall ill, if they're not mugged by bandits, it could take them at least two weeks. sometimes we were just talking to one man who took it last week and was sent back to the united states. he says it took him 12 days, that was an all time record. he's taken the beast five times. >> appreciate the reporting this week and last week as well. there's a lot more happening tonight. pamela brown has the 360 bullet. anderson, a bloody scene in baghdad, militants stormed a reported brothel killing at least 34 people, most of the victims were women, and according to reports, the attackers left a message on the door that read, this is the fate of any prostitution. and six weeks after his release from taliban captivity bowe bergdahl is returning to
