Student spared prison for secret sex tape

Nassau-A Doris Johnson High School student, who secretly filmed a woman having sex with another man, has avoided a prison sentence.

Trevor Dwayne Brown, 18, posted the sexually explicit video in a WhatsApp group that he created.

The sex-offender’s cruel act left his 20-year-old victim traumatized and in tears.

Despite the damage he did to her reputation, the woman begged Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt not to imprison Brown.

Brown pleaded guilty to two counts of voyeurism. He was on May 11 given a conditional discharge.

Brown can keep his clean criminal record provided he pays his victim $5,550 in compensation. Failure to pay the money will result in a 12-month prison sentence.

Brown, a twelfth-grader, illegally recorded the sex tape in March.

The young woman went to a home in Yellow Elder Gardens with Brown and several other men, the court heard.

After having a few drinks, she had sex with Brown. Then, another man bedded her.

That’s when Brown recorded them without their permission. He published their private moment a few weeks later.

In her victim impact statement, the woman told the court that she had forgiven Brown notwithstanding the hurt he had caused.

Brown faced a maximum of three years in prison for voyeurism.

He will remain in custody until his relatives pay at least $2,750 to his victim. Thereafter, they must make monthly payments of $400.
