A former Oconee County High School custodian will spend more than four years in prison for secretly recording video inside the girl’s locker room.

Timothy Brian Burnette was arrested back in January and charged with unlawful surveillance.

Oconee County Sheriff's deputies said a female student found Timothy Brian Burnette's phone recording video in the girl's locker room Jan. 10. That student told the principal, who immediately contacted the sheriff's office.

Burnette was immediately terminated from the school district.

In addition to his prison sentence, Burnette will spend 25 years on supervised release and be required to register as a sex offender.
