Paul G Curley, a janitor at Walt Disney World claimed that watching child pornography is his constitutional right. The 66-year-old made the allegations following his arrest in Florida on Wednesday. He was charged with six counts of possession of images of sexual performance by a child. According to an affidavit reported by the Orlando Sentinel, detectives received tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about an IP address from where child porn was being uploaded. Sharing Child Porn Images And Videos on WhatsApp Could Land You in Jail For 7 Years Without Bail.

Investigators found that the IP address was registered to Curley. It contained photos of nude children aged five to 12. Curley was thereafter under surveillance and a search warrant was issued in his name. The affidavit reads, "He stated his constitutional rights allow him to view the child pornography.

Investigators allegedly found a child pornography website open on his home computer other than searches related to child porn. According to police, Curley initially said that he was searching for content related to child porn for 'investigative purposes'. He also claimed that he did not go against any law as he was just watching child porn and not sent or downloaded any such files. However, police found a number of child porn files in his downloads. According to records, images also included kids who appeared to be younger than 13 years of age.

Curley even told the police that the kids in the photos had done it to themselves on their own and were not forced by anyone. According to records, Curley is a custodian at Walt Disney World. A Disney spokesperson said that he has been put on unpaid leave until all charges are resolved. He is held in the lieu of USD 6,000 bond in the Osceola County Jail.
