TriMet sex offender receives 22-year sentence for videotaping women using restrooms

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Jared Walter, who was once known as the “TriMet Barber,” was sentenced to 22 years in prison after recording a multitude of women using the bathroom at Portland Community College and local businesses two years ago.

Walter, a repeat sexual offender, was convicted on 31 counts of invasion of privacy in May of last year.

Between April 26-30, 2023, Portland police learned a man was entering different women’s bathrooms across the city. Investigators connected Walter, 37, to those bathrooms and the recordings.

Those incidents happened just two months after Walter was released from custody for different crimes. In September 2021, he was sentenced to nearly two years in prison after admitting to taking a picture of a woman inside a bar’s bathroom.

In 2019, Barber was banned for life by TriMet after targeting women using TriMet, including two separate cases in March 2019.
