LSU Tigers cornerback Javien Toviano turned himself in to the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office on Sunday after being accused of video voyeurism, according to a spokesperson.
Toviano, 19, allegedly recorded himself having sex with a woman without her consent. The woman discovered the videos on Toviano’s iPad, which were recorded using a clock with a built-in camera placed near the bed, as stated in the arrest warrant.
The woman reported to police that Toviano had previously recorded them without her permission and that she had asked him to stop.
Toviano admitted to using the hidden camera inside the clock to record their encounters, according to the arrest warrant.
LSU has suspended Toviano from all team activities, following departmental policies. The Tigers are scheduled to begin practice on August 1.
The 19-year-old from Arlington, Texas, was a Top 100 player coming out of high school and was expected to compete for a starting position this season. He finished his freshman season with 33 tackles and one pass breakup, playing both cornerback and nickel.
With his suspension from the team, at least temporarily, there is speculation about whether this incident could mark the end of his career as an LSU Tiger.
