A former high school janitor has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for secretly filming students in a girls’ locker room.
Jason Brian Goff, 45, will also be required to serve out a 10-year term of supervised release and register as a sex offender, according to a Monday press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Middle District of Florida.

Goff was arrested in September 2019 after two girls reported what they thought was a camera lens behind a locked gym locker at Clay High School in Green Cove Springs, Florida. Upon opening the locker, school administrators discovered a cellphone taped to the inside wall of the locker with its lens pointing out of a hole, prosecutors said.
A 30-minute video was found on the phone taken from a window at an angle that looked into the locker room. The video showed girls changing. At the end of the video, the footage panned down to reveal Goff’s ID badge.
An investigation of Goff’s other devices revealed further video footage of the locker room and videos and images of child sexual abuse, including those perpetrated against infants.
Goff was charged with attempted use of children to produce sexually explicit videos. He pleaded guilty in September 2020 and admitted that he had tried to film girls in the locker room at least three times.

The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Brian Davis of Florida.
“It is beyond reprehensible that this predator used his position of trust as a school employee to sexually exploit children,” said Homeland Security Investigations Jacksonville Assistant Special Agent in Charge K. Jim Phillips in a statement. “Thanks to HSI special agents and the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, he will be held accountable for his crimes.”
