David
Cerna Case
FORMER
CHESTERFIELD
POLICE OFFICER DAVID CERNA, COP, SEX
PERVERT, VIDEO PRODUCER AND WEBSITE
OWNER! NOW READ THE INVESTIGATIVE
REPORT
 October
14,
2017 – KTVI newsman Chris Hayes got a
tip and broke the case that someone was
video recording people urinating in the
men’s bathroom on the Mobil on the Run
in Chesterfield on Clarkson Road. He
turned his evidence over to the
Chesterfield Police.
 A
thorough investigation determined that
Chesterfield Officer David Cerna while
on duty had been hiding a camera in the
bathroom recording men’s penises at the
urinal. The Mobil station was a favorite
place for police officers to take a
bathroom break and at least seven
officers were also recorded.
 A
search warrant of Cerna’s house in
Wentzville resulted in computers being
seized. There the bathroom images, along
with recordings of Cerna using a glory
hole at his house and performing
anonymous oral sex on people responding
to messages on websites were found. All
these images were placed on a website
run by Cerna.
 More
troubling were secret recordings of
officers changing clothes in the
Chesterfield Police locker room,
people, including juvenile males
wearing sweat pants or shorts being
frisked by Cerna and having their
pants pulled out at the waist and
their genitals secretly recorded by
Cerna using a small recording
device.
Cerna
pled
guilty to:
2 counts
of Felony Invasion of Privacy
in St. Charles CO Sentenced to 60
days jail.
Felony Invasion of
Privacy Multiple Persons St.
Louis County Sentenced to 4
Years prison but placed on 5-years
probation.
Misdemeanor
Invasion of Privacy St. Louis
County. Sentenced to 1-year jail
no probation.
Felony Sexual
Exploitation of a Minor St.
Louis County. Sentenced to
10-years prison but placed on 5 year
probation term.
Felony
Invasion of Privacy Multiple Persons
St. Louis County. Sentenced to
4-years prison but placed on 5-years
probation.
Cerna appealed
the sentence for Sexual Exploitation
of Minor to the Missouri Court of
Appeals of the Eastern District. His
appeal was denied and the judgment and
sentence was affirmed on July 25,
2017.
The final notation on the case was
entered by the courts in September of
2017.
I filed a
Sunshine Request to obtain the
investigative report in September and
received a copy of the report on
October 13, 2017.
