A convicted Kamloops sex offender described by doctors as narcissistic and psychopathic is once again under investigation for child-pornography offences.

Jamie Trevor McDerment, a former radio personality in Merritt and Castlegar, was jailed for nine months in 2012 after being convicted of voyeurism and possession of child pornography.

Court documents show police obtained a warrant to search a room at the Star Motel at Columbia Street and McGill Road in Kamloops where the 27-year-old was staying this month.

The search warrant states police believe McDerment had possessed and distributed child pornography between Dec. 15 and Dec. 31, 2014. The document gave investigators authority to search McDerment’s home and electronic devices.

Mounties initially began looking into McDerment in 2011 after some of his online activity caught the attention of U.S. law enforcement.

Later that year, police obtained a warrant to search the apartment he had been sharing with his wife and baby. They seized 36 items, including computers, flash drives, iPhones and iPods.

When McDerment was being sentenced in 2012, court heard he had 100 images and videos in his possession, most of which depicted young boys — between the ages of 10 and 18 — masturbating or involved in sex acts with older men.

During that sentencing, court was told McDerment’s wife had no idea of his activities and left him as a result.

Police also found photos on McDerment’s iPhone of young boys using a public bathroom. The photos were taken in a restroom at Kamloops’ Riverside Park in August 2011.

Court heard excerpts from a psychological report prepared prior to McDerment’s sentencing, in which doctors described him as having narcissistic qualities and showing many characteristics of “psychopathic personality disorder.”

Part of McDerment’s 2012 sentence required him to register as a sex offender.

The investigation that prompted the raid of his home this month is ongoing.
