Case narrative
Biography
Branden Orr was born on June 20, 1996. Pictures and references to him as a tour guide can be found in their Google reviews. At that time he was also engaged to be married on May 4, 2025. The webpage used for he and his fiancé's wedding does not seem to be updated, but they have since married. An eviction suit was filed against Orr and his then-fiancée six months before the sting.
Orr had been arrested on April 19, 2022 for Battery - Touch or Strike. He was given a no-contact order by the court and the case was closed on May 4, 2022 with an unknown disposition.
Aftermath
Orr was arrested during the sting and booked into the Polk County Jail on October 4, 2024. He was charged with:
Attempted Lewd and Lascivious Battery to a Victim Aged 12 to 16 (Third Degree Felony) ($10,000 Bond) Use of 2-Way Communication Device to Commit a Felony (Third Degree Felony) ($5,000 Bond) Traveling to Meet a Minor (Second Degree Felony) ($10,000 Bond) Resisting Arrest Without Violence (First Degree Misdemeanor) ($1,000 Bond)
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, famous for his press events where he speaks colorfully about arrested individuals and crime in the area, held a press conference to speak about the results of the operation.
Orr was released from the Polk County Jail on November 26, 2024. On May 20th, 2025, he was found guilty on all four counts.
He might have to register as a sex offender in the state of Florida.
Trivia
Orr likes listening to Slipknot and singing Karaoke. Reviews of American Ghost Adventures show that Orr was considered to be a good tour guide.
