University of Queensland campus rocked by allegations that female students were filmed in toilets

A university has been rocked by allegations that dozens of female students were unknowingly filmed in campus toilets over the course of a month.

A man, 24, is accused of committing the alleged offenses in toilets between May 6 and June 1 at the University of Queensland‘s St Lucia campus and in Sunnybank Brisbane‘s south.

He was arrested at Brisbane Airport late on Tuesday evening.

Police seized the man’s phone during the arrest and are said to have discovered “a number of indecent videos of women taken without their consent in public areas in Brisbane”.

The Woolloongabba man faces 155 charges of observing or recording in breach of privacy and a further 10 charges of entering a premises with intent to offend.

He appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday where he was refused bail.

He will appear again in the same court next month.

Students at the St. Lucia campus were shocked to hear about the allegations.

“Pretty disturbing for a lot of young women, especially on this campus and in general,” one person told Seven News.

Another added: ‘It’s disgusting. I would feel so unsafe if I was in a bathroom with someone filming me.

A spokesperson for the University of Queensland told Daily Mail Australia the accused man now no longer has access to campus grounds.

They added that the university will support the “ongoing police investigation.”

“We have today assured staff and students that UQ has taken immediate action to prevent the individual from visiting our campuses if released from custody.

“As the matter is before the courts, we cannot provide any further information.”
