DENTON, Texas — The Denton Police Department has arrested a 27-year-old man accused in a series of incidents involving women’s restrooms and locker rooms in Denton, including cases connected to the University of North Texas and Texas Woman’s University.
On Saturday, Jan. 31, officers responded to the 1300 block of S. Loop 288 for a reported criminal trespass. Witnesses told police that Jeremiah O'Brien Devereaux entered the women’s locker room, sauna and bathroom at a local gym before running from the scene. Officers later located him and took him into custody on an outstanding theft warrant.
During the investigation, Denton police learned that UNT police were investigating an indecent exposure case that occurred Friday, Jan. 30. In that incident, a suspect allegedly exposed himself to a woman inside a campus restroom. After working the case, UNT police identified Devereaux as the suspect and obtained a warrant for his arrest.
Police also confirmed Devereaux was arrested in January 2025 in a separate incident at TWU. In that case, he was charged with criminal trespass and resisting arrest after allegedly attempting to follow a female student into a bathroom stall.
Devereaux is currently being held in the Denton County Jail on a $5,000 bond.
Detectives believe there may be additional victims and are urging anyone who may have had a similar encounter to contact Detective David Acrey at 940-349-7993. Anonymous tips can be submitted through Denton County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-388-TIPS or online at www.dentoncountycrimestoppers.com.
