An ex-priest from Pennsylvania, who sexually abused children, worked at Disney World for nearly 15 years, despite facing at least one allegation of sexually abusing a boy, a grand jury report revealed this week.

The report said the priest had applied for the Disney job with a positive reference from his Pennsylvania diocese.

Edward Ganster moved to the Orlando area to work at the Magic Kingdom after leaving the priesthood in 1990. An obituary in the Orlando Sentinel said Ganster died at age 71 in 2014.
