Kingsolver, charged with soliciting a child for sexual acts and traveling to meet a minor for unlawful sexual activity, was working as a service manager who supervised ride repairs at the Magic Kingdom before he was placed on unpaid leave.
He believed he was meeting a young girl for sex at a house set up by detectives from the Lake County, Florida, Sheriff’s Office, where Kingsolver was apprehended.
