**British Man Arrested for Organizing Child "Wedding" at Disneyland Paris**
**A bizarre case unfolds as a British national is charged with orchestrating a mock wedding involving a nine-year-old girl in Disneyland Paris.**
A British man faces charges related to the organization of a mock wedding for a nine-year-old Ukrainian girl at Disneyland Paris. The 39-year-old, whose identity has not been disclosed, was apprehended after a guest reported concerns about the event. According to French prosecutors, the man is a convicted sexual offender sought by UK authorities.
Police intervened early on a Saturday morning, following a call from a hired contract worker who claimed to have been paid €12,000 to pretend to be the bride's father. Shockingly, the man only realized the "bride" was a minor shortly before the ceremony. Meaux Prosecutor Jean-Baptiste Bladier clarified that the girl, who arrived in France two days prior, did not suffer physical or sexual violence and was not coerced into participating.
Another individual involved, a woman hired to act as a guest, described her horror upon seeing the child dressed in a wedding gown. The emotional impact of the event drew tears from onlookers, highlighting the disturbing nature of what was intended to be captured on film.
Reports indicate around 100 French extras were enlisted for the spectacle, which had been scheduled to take place privately after hours. The British suspect allegedly used misleading identification to secure rental of the venue, leading to accusations of fraud, breach of trust, and money laundering.
Besides the British man, three others were detained, including the girl’s mother and two Latvians associated with the event’s organization. As of now, the British man stands as the only person being held for charges that span several serious criminal allegations. The purpose of this unusual wedding remains ambiguous as investigators delve deeper into the motives behind the planned event.
The ongoing inquiry reveals that Disneyland Paris was misled by the organizer. The prosecutor confirmed that the cost of the mock wedding may exceed €130,000, raising further concerns about the operation's legitimacy. The British man is already listed on sexual offender registries and is wanted by UK law enforcement, primarily due to violating conditions of his prior convictions.
