I'm Stephen Ruiz, online content editor for OrlandoSentinel.com. For those of us who didn't stay up for the Orlando City result Wednesday night, we have that and more in our morning headlines. Send me an email and let me know what you think.

Good morning. It's Thursday, May 18. In our top story, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement put on quite a show Wednesday as electronics that once contained child pornography were destroyed by a road roller. It's all part of "Operation Crush Cyber Crime.''

Also, a special prosecutor to investigate possible links between Pres. Donald Trump and Russia was named, and he is former FBI director Robert Mueller.

Finally, want to know which celebrities have been seen at Disney World? We have a photo gallery here.
