POLK CO., Fla. — A Polk County man, who works for Disney World, was arrested on charges of child pornography Friday.
Timothy Wayne Hammerstone, 22, of Polk City, faces 16 counts of possession of child pornography.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office said Hammerstone was talking with boys in California using his Xbox gaming system. Investigators say Hammerstone convinced one of the boys to send him naked photographs. When the boy's mother found out, she contacted police.
Hammerstone worked at the commisary at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Disney issued a statement saying, "We have no tolerance for this type of activity and he no longer works for the company".
