Orange County police arrested a Walt Disney World Resort custodian on Friday for kidnapping and sexually attacking a 21-year-old co-worker in Florida.
The incident happened on Thursday evening when 49-year-old Gideon Paul Hunte, a resident of Poinciana, allegedly pinned the victim against the wall and assaulted her for around five minutes after forcing her inside a custodial closet.

According to the victim's supervisor, she was 'crying and shaking' uncontrollably while discussing the incident. Reportedly, the attack transpired at around 6:30 in the afternoon and lasted for three to five minutes.
The young woman claimed that the suspect stopped the attack after realizing she would not stop screaming as she struggled to block the assault.
Crying, the woman then proceeded to report the incident to her supervisor after fleeing her attacker.
The unnamed victim clarified that she was not friends with Hunte and had no association or relation with him aside from the fact that they work for the same company.
Hunte claimed that he and the victim had been having an adulterous relationship for over a month, although officials remained unconvinced.
Authorities revealed that Hunte had admitted to touching the young college student inappropriately.
The Disney custodian is currently detained in Orange County jail. Reports indicate that he has no criminal records in the county prior to this felony.
Hunte has been ordered to stay away from the victim and is being held without bond on two counts of sexual battery and kidnapping.
Disney World Resort spokesperson Kathleen Prihoda stated that Hunte will be put on unpaid leave during the investigation process and has assured the public that the company does not tolerate such behavior from their employees.
The assault transpired at a back stage area where there were no guests present. The company refused to comment on how long Hunte had been working for the park.
