BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU sophomore cornerback Javien Toviano surrendered to authorities Sunday on charges of video voyeurism, the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office said.
Toviano, 19, of Arlington, Texas, is accused of recording himself having sex with a woman without her consent, according to an arrest warrant. The woman told detectives that she found videos of the two of them on Toviano’s iPad that were recorded through a clock with a built-in camera placed near the bed, The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported.
The woman told detectives that Toviano had previously recorded them having sex without her consent and she said she did not want to be recorded.
Toviano, in an interview with detectives, admitted to using a hidden camera to record the sexual encounters, the arrest warrant states.
Title information was not immediately available. It is not known whether Toviano has a lawyer who can speak on his behalf.
Toviano “has been suspended from all team activities in accordance with departmental policies,” LSU said in a statement.
“We will have no further comment out of respect for the legal process,” the university said.
Toviano signed with LSU last year. He appeared in every game as a freshman and has made three starts in the last five games. He finished his freshman season with 33 tackles and one pass breakup.
LSU begins preseason workouts on Aug. 1, and Toviano was expected to compete for playing time at cornerback.
