Derremy Jerrell Walker, Producing Sexually Explicit Videos, Florida 2021

Orlando, Florida – Derremy Jerrell Walker, a 31-year-old contracted janitor at Oviedo High School, has been sentenced to 60 years in federal prison for two counts of using, or attempting to use, children to produce sexually explicit videos. This sentence was handed down by United States District Judge Wendy W. Berger on an unknown date in 2021.

A federal jury had found Walker guilty of the offenses on June 29, 2021. The sentence also includes a lifetime term of supervised release and registration as a sex offender.

The crimes were committed in November 2019 when Walker placed a cellphone under the sink in a student bathroom stall to secretly film female students. On two prior dates in November 2019, Walker had also set up the phone to create one-hour videos of students in the stall. Forensic analysis revealed that Walker had angled the camera to capture images of the genitalia of those in the stall.

Two 15-year-old female students discovered the actively recording cellphone in November 2019 and took it to school administrators, who contacted the Oviedo Police Department. Forensic analysis of the cellphone revealed that Walker had set up a surreptitious cellphone camera to record in the school’s faculty bathroom earlier that month.

“Mr. Walker did more than just produce horror; he stole the innocence and trust of these young victims. We are pleased with the sentence handed down in this case and will continue efforts to protect the children in our communities from sexual exploitation and abuse,” said FBI Tampa Division Special Agent in Charge Michael McPherson.

This case was investigated by the Oviedo Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Shawn P. Napier.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
