A 39-year-old British national has been detained after trying to stage a mock wedding involving a 9-year-old girl at Disneyland Paris, raising concerns regarding safety measures at the park.
The accused, a convicted sex offender, reportedly used false identification to book the event, which was intended to be recorded privately with numerous paid actors playing guests. The incident occurred early Saturday before the park officially opened, but was halted when staff discovered the “bride” was a minor. Jean-Baptiste Bladier, a prosecutor in Meaux, confirmed the police intervened rapidly once alerted. The man faces charges of fraud, identity theft, and potential corruption of a minor. His ability to book such an event has sparked questions regarding measures in place for safeguarding children at highly visited locations.
