British Man Arrested at Disneyland Paris for 'Mock Wedding' with Child Revealed as Wanted Sex Offender

A 39-year-old British man has been arrested at Disneyland Paris after allegedly staging a 'mock wedding' with a nine-year-old Ukrainian girl. French prosecutors in Meaux confirmed that the suspect is known in the UK for sexual offenses against minors. He is reportedly registered on the British sex offenders' register and was wanted by UK judicial authorities for failing to comply with his registration obligations. The man's arrest occurred on Saturday after Disneyland staff realized the 'bride' at the private event was a child. The girl's mother was also arrested in connection with the incident but has since been released. According to reports, the mother informed detectives that the 'wedding' was organized to allow her daughter to 'live like a princess' for a day.
