CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) – A northeast Iowa man has been sent to federal prison for receiving child pornography. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that Derek Clemens, of Evansdale, was given nine years and ordered to pay $3,000 restitution to a victim in one of the videos. Clemens must serve 10 years of supervised release after he leaves custody and register as a sex offender. He’d pleaded guilty. Authorities found child porn on a cellphone and a memory card for a tablet computer after Clemens was caught using the phone to photograph women using a restroom at an Elk Run Heights truck stop in October 2018.
