A crowded resort pool near SeaWorld Orlando turned into a crime scene over Memorial Day weekend after deputies say a 56-year-old man exposed himself and engaged in sexual behavior in front of guests. The alleged conduct unfolded with adults and children nearby as hotels and pools around the park filled up with holiday travelers. Authorities have not released the man’s name or identified the specific resort.
Investigation and charges
According to ClickOrlando, the incident took place over the Memorial Day period, May 23 through 26, 2026. Deputies say the man is now facing criminal charges after allegedly exposing himself at the resort pool while families and other guests looked on.
The outlet reports that both adults and children witnessed the behavior during the busy holiday weekend. Specific charging details have not yet been disclosed publicly, and officials have kept the suspect’s identity and the resort’s name under wraps.
What the law says
Florida law makes it a crime to expose or exhibit his or her sexual organs in public, and the penalties can increase when minors are involved. Allegations of exposure or lewd behavior around children can fall under provisions dealing with lewd or lascivious conduct and related offenses. The full language of the law is outlined in Florida Statutes, Chapter 800.
Other resort incidents and safety concerns
Local families and law enforcement say this type of incident is not unheard of around Central Florida’s tourist corridors, where resort pools and water parks are packed much of the year.
In 2019, a registered sex offender was arrested after investigators said he exposed himself at SeaWorld’s Aquatica water park, according to WESH. Earlier this year, deputies arrested a man after residents recorded him allegedly performing a sexual act with a vacuum cleaner outside a Kissimmee resort residence, per WFTV. Both cases have highlighted ongoing concerns about security and monitoring in and around vacation properties.
What to watch next
The coverage from ClickOrlando notes that neither the suspect’s name nor the resort has been publicly identified, and no booking details were included in that report. The clearest picture of the allegations is expected to come from formal charging documents or a statement from the sheriff’s office. Those records typically appear on local law enforcement websites or in public court filings and will lay out the exact counts, any listed victims, and upcoming court dates.
