Typhoon Lagoon reports another molestation incident
Jul 19, 2009

Yet another sexually-related incident has been reported at an Orlando water park. On Thursday, a 13-year old boy reported being molested by an adult male at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon. David Eugene Thomas has been charged and is being held without bond in the Orange County Jail. Investigators believe Thomas may have molested several other children as well. This incident is the sixth of its kind at the water parks since March.

Psycologists suggest that water parks are a temptation to sexual offenders because children are often unsupervised and are wearing little clothing.

Theme park officials are searching for a reason that the number of reported incidents has been on the rise. The Orange County sheriff's department has been reviewing security procedures for the parks and say that the theme parks are working in full cooperation with the law to stop this trend.
