Former Oconee County High School Janitor Sentenced for Attempted Child Pornography

Online Athens

The Oconee County High School janitor who pled guilty to recording video of minors has been sentenced to 51 months in federal prison. Timothy Brian Burnette was sentenced Wednesday. There is no parole in the federal system and Burnette will be required to register as a sex offender.

The sentence for attempted child pornography was handed down by U.S. District Judge Ashley Royal. In his plea agreement, 41-year old Burnette admitted to repeatedly using his cell phone to record video of girls changing in the locker room while he worked as a janitor at the school.

Authorities also discovered photographs, internet searches and tabs that were pornographic in nature, including searches related to high school girls engaged in sexual activity and locker room porn videos.

This case was investigated by the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  The Georgia Bureau of Investigation provided additional assistance.
