Derremy Jerrell Walker, a 31-year-old contracted janitor at Oviedo High School, has been found guilty of secretly filming students in a bathroom stall.
A federal jury in Orlando, Florida, convicted Walker of two counts of using, or attempting to use, children to produce sexually explicit videos on November 2019.
The guilty verdict comes after two 15-year-old female students discovered a hidden cellphone under the sink in a student bathroom at Oviedo High School in November 2019.
The girls took the phone to school administrators, who then contacted the Oviedo Police Department.
Forensic analysis of the cellphone revealed that Walker had placed the phone in the same location on two prior dates in November 2019, each time creating a one-hour video of students in that stall.
On the date the girls found the phone, it had been recording video for about 15 minutes before they discovered it. In each of the three instances, Walker had angled the cellphone’s camera in an effort to capture the genitalia and pubic areas of those in the stall.
School administration officials and law enforcement officers were able to identify six of the ten students unknowingly captured in the videos Walker created.
Further analysis revealed Walker had also set up a surreptitious cellphone camera to record in the school’s faculty bathroom earlier that month.
This case was investigated by the Oviedo Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Walker’s sentencing hearing has been set for September 21, 2021.
