Traffic Stop Leads to Arrest of Convicted Child Molester for Sex Offender Registration Violations
Registered sex offender Jeramey Prince Delapierre, 38, was arrested Thursday night and charged with carrying a driver’s license without a sex offender designation, not reporting changes in employment information, not reporting a change in vehicles owned and probation violation.
In June 2024, Delapierre was convicted of child molestation and sentenced to five years of probation.
Alachua County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) Deputy Kimberly Heskett conducted a traffic stop on Delapierre at 9:49 p.m. for allegedly running a red light.
Heskett reported the following:
“While conducting enforcement action for the traffic stop, Jeramey was asked for consent to search the vehicle, to which he agreed, stating it wasn't his. Also, while speaking with Jeramey, he stated that he is a sex offender and currently on probation for his charges. This was confirmed via teletype that Jeramey is labeled as a high-risk sexual offender with an entry date of [June 13, 2024] and a release date of [June 10, 2029].
During a search of the vehicle, deputies located an additional Florida driver's license issued to Jeramy. It was determined that the originally provided license does not have Jeramy's Florida Sex Offender Registry designation listed on it…. Additionally, Jeramy told deputies that he recently started a new job on April 15, 2025], working for ‘Jay's Painting’ out of Jonesville and has been driving his wife's vehicle…..
Due to the above information, I consulted with both ACSO Detective R. Depete, whom is our sexual offender detective as well as Jeramey's probation officer (Sharon Dixon out of Gainesville's main office). Both of which confirmed that Jeramy has not provided his new employment nor the vehicle to his FDLE sexual offender registry.
Deputies also spoke with Jeramy's wife, whom is the registered owner of the vehicle, and confirmed that he has been using the vehicle regularly since being released on probation and that he has been working for ‘Maco Painting.’
Post-Miranda, Jeramy stated that he drives his wife's vehicle from time to time when he is running late for his [10:00 p.m.] curfew and was unaware that he has to provide this on his registry as it is not registered to him. He also stated that he was unaware his license had to have his designation on it, stating he was never told this.
Jeramy confirmed that he was provided the FDLE Sexual Predator/Offender Registration Form packet upon release, to which he filled out with his probation officer and signed, stating he was aware of all stipulations. An electronic version of the packet was provided to me by Det. R. Depete and shows that Jeramey did not provide a place of employment nor any vehicles. On page 6 of the packet, it clearly shows that Jeramey signed the packet on [December 13, 2024], confirming he understood all set forth stipulations.”
Delapierre has a bond of $75,000 on his registration violation charges but is not eligible for release due to receiving no bond for his probation violation.
