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.

The
John Low Case:
Sex Crimes and Kidnapping of a
Minor
On November 3, 2022 the Federal
Prosecutor’s Office in St. Louis
recommended a 12-year (135 months)
sentence to 38-year-old Chesterfield
resident John Low of 15452 Millrun Ct
Chesterfield, for driving to Manhattan,
Kansas, picking up a 15-year-old he met
on the internet, driving her back to
Chesterfield where he kept her shackled
in his basement where he raped her
several times.
The FBI received a tip and with the
Chesterfield Police on January
26,rescued the girl, who was wearing a
dog collar at the time. We reported this
in April when the Chesterfield PD
included the arrest in the department’s
monthly newsletter.
The case was originally filed in State
Circuit Court but was then moved to
Federal Court. The Federal
recommendation is for 12 + years in
prison.
The Presentencing Report gives the facts
in the case better than any document we
found. See the documents below.
