A married couple have been arrested for allegedly filming outdoor porn films involving a variety of sex acts throughout Jonesboro.
Leslie Sessions, 30, and Derek Calloway, 37, who have two children together, were charged with nine felonies related to their alleged adult movie careers – which reportedly earn them $1,000 a month – on August 27.
The incriminating video reviewed by cops allegedly showed Sessions committing a series of sex acts, including wearing wireless vibrating panties that Calloway operated while they were in a restaurant together.
Leslie Sessions, 30, and Derek Calloway, 37, of Jonesboro, Arkansas, have been accused of creating porn movies in public and charged with nine felony counts
Sessions allegedly wore vibrating panties during a meal in a restaurant – panties controlled wirelessly by Calloway, her husband of two years
Jonesboro cops swooped on the saucy couple on July 14 after receiving a tip-off that the pair had been filming themselves throughout the city.
They allege that Sessions and Calloway had committed a string of sexual acts, beginning at a meal in a Cheddar’s restaurant.
There, cops said in a probable cause affidavit, Calloway operated the remote control to a pair of vibrating panties that Sessions was wearing.
The video also showed Sessions inserting an unspecified object into her anus in the Home Depot parking lot while cars were passing, it said.
It climaxed – so to speak – with Sessions performing for camera with a sex toy at the Arkansas Game and Fish Nature Center Trail, then performing oral sex on a man, police said.
They also reportedly filmed a scene on a Rotary playground at the Craighead Forest Park.
The couple promote their videos on Twitter and reportedly make $1,000 a month from their sale, police allege.

The couple have two children. Their lawyer says the kids were disturbed when police served a search warrant in July. The couple were then charged in August
The affidavit claims that Sgt Brandon King of the Internet Crimes Against Children taskforce was also able to obtain two further videos from the couple.
Both of those videos ‘showed Calloway preforming [sic] hard-core sexual conduct,’ it alleges.
It’s unclear whether there were children present on the playground or any of the scenes where the incidents are said to have taken place.
They both face three counts each of public display of hard-core sexual conduct; three counts each of sale, possession or distribution of obscene film; and three counts each of promoting obscene performance.
Each of the class D felonies could lead to a maximum of six years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Their defense lawyer, Randel Miller, told NEA Report that the charges of possession, distribution and promotion of ‘obscene’ materials are ‘unconstitutional’.
‘The [possession] statute would prohibit the videoing of two consenting adults in the privacy of own their bedroom,’ he said.
‘This is such an over-broad statute that it can’t withstand constitutional muster.’

Sessions was reportedly in this Cheddar’s when the vibrating panty scene was filmed. Their lawyer says that felony counts are excessive, and some of the charges are unconstitutional
‘The third statute, dealing with videoing in a public place, is a different matter. First, I think there’s going to be a real question of whether there is any witnesses that observe this an actual witness to this,’ he said.
‘Second they charge is grossly disproportionate to the condo. Clearly, this conduct would have constituted the misdemeanor offense of indecent exposure rather than the more serious felony offense.
He added that the incident had been ‘blown out of proportion,’ calling the police’s arrival at their home ‘grossly unnecessary and a clear abuse of state power’.
‘These two otherwise law-abiding adults were in the quiet of their home with their children when the police descended on their home with a search warrant, tore their house apart and terrified their children,’ he said.
‘These two people should be cleared of the felony charges, and at worst, found guilty of a misdemeanor offense of indecent exposure.’
The couple are currently out on bail and have pleaded not guilty to the nine charges, for which they could receive a maximum of six years on each count.
Motions will be made in court on October 30 and a jury trial is expected to begin on November 13.
Calloway, a DJ and former Hot Topic store manager, married Sessions in January 2015.
He doesn’t seem particularly upset about the charges, writing on Facebook: ‘I have never seen so many friend requests in my life. Wow.’
‘I couldn’t imagine why,’ commented one of his friends.
Sessions allegedly committed an act in this playground. It’s not clear from the affidavit whether children were present. They have pleaded not guilty to all charges
