The San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office charged Jevon T. Jennings, a 27-year-old from Tracy, with multiple felonies following a disturbing incident at a minor’s residence. Jennings, observed on surveillance footage, tampered with a camera, cut a window screen, and entered the victim’s bedroom. The minor awoke to Jennings rummaging through her belongings and observed multiple flashes, possibly from a phone. Jennings fled after a cell phone rang. A subsequent investigation revealed Jennings possessed and distributed over 600 images of child pornography.

Jennings faces the following charges:

•  Count 1: Penal Code 220(b) – Assault to commit a felony during first-degree burglary with intent to commit rape, sodomy, oral copulation, or violations of Sections 264.1, 288, or 289 (Felony).

•  Count 2: Penal Code 459 – First-degree residential burglary, person present (Felony).

•  Counts 3 & 4: Penal Code 311.11(a) and (c)(1) – Possession and distribution of over 600 images of child pornography, including over 10 images of children under 12 (Felonies).

•  Count 5: Penal Code 311.2(c) – Distribution of child pornography (Felony).

Aggravating factors include the use of a box cutter during the crime (Rule of Court 4.421(a)(2)). Jennings has prior convictions for misdemeanor peeking (Penal Code 647(j)(1).

District Attorney Ron Freitas stated, “Jevon Jennings’ predatory behavior, stalking a minor, and invading her home with malicious intent, is an affront to our community’s safety. His possession and distribution of vile child pornography only deepen our resolve to ensure he faces the harshest consequences.

Jennings' next scheduled court date is July 1, 2025, in Department M1 for further arraignment. He is being held without bail.
