Florida janitor sentenced to 60 years for hiding camera in girls' restroom

A Florida high school janitor was sentenced to 60 years in prison for secretly filming students’ in the girls’ bathroom.

The Department of Justice said Derremy Walker, 31, was sentenced on two counts of using or trying to use children to produce sexually explicit videos. Walker will also serve a lifetime term of supervised release and register as a sexual offender.

Walker was a contracted janitor at Oviedo High School in November 2019 when two 15-year-old students found an actively recording cell phone hidden under the sink in a bathroom stall. The phone was analyzed by investigators, which revealed Walker placed the phone in the same location on two prior days in November 2019.

Each time, the phone created a one-hour video of students in that stall, according to the DOJ. The phone had been recording 15 minutes before the students found it.

and good they threw the book at him.

Filming minors in a bathroom? What a violation of trust. I wonder if he sought out a job like this just to film/sell/jerk off to minor porn

Fuck this guy

Just because others may get lesser sentences for something else means nothing imo. He is scum.

he filmed at least 12 kids, angling the phone towards their genitals. The DOJ was involved, so there's probably a back story here.

Child porn being sold on the internet? Pretty sure that’s a serious charge.

And they may be still investigating the recipients/purchasers of same…could explain DOjninvolvement. God, sometimes I really hate reading the news. Who would even think to do such a thing?

So glad I never use public restrooms if I can help it.

Lifetime parole and supervision as a sex offender.

Similar sentence was given to a (white) teacher at my kids' bougie HS - for a very similar offence.

I'd doubt this is child porn made for sale - dude's just a perv.

As a prison abolitionist, I think it's a shitty sentence because it isn't going to repair the harm he did or rehabilitate him.

Outside of an abolitionist context -- come on, dude! Sixty years!

Do not click on this link.

Nevertheless, I don't have any sympathy for these sorts of sexual predators. They all need to be isolated from ordinary society.

I think 60 years is the highest sentence I've heard of outside of serial murder.
