LSU cornerback Javien Toviano arrested for video voyeurism, authorities say

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana — LSU sophomore cornerback Javien Toviano turned himself in 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 filming himself having sex with a woman without her consent, an arrest warrant states. The woman told investigators she found videos of the two on Toviano’s iPad, recorded by a watch with a built-in camera that was attached to the bed, The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported.

The woman told investigators that Toviano had filmed her having sex without her consent in the past and that she did not want to be filmed.

During an interrogation by the criminal police, Toviano admitted to having recorded the sexual encounters with a hidden camera, the arrest warrant states.

Bail information was not immediately available. It was not known whether Toviano has an attorney who could speak on his behalf.

Toviano “has been suspended from all team activities in accordance with department policy,” LSU said in a statement.

“Out of respect for the legal process, we will not comment further,” the university said.

Toviano signed with LSU last year. As a freshman, he appeared in every game and started three of the final five games. He finished his freshman season with 33 tackles and a pass defense.

LSU begins preseason practice on August 1, and Toviano was expected to compete for playing time at cornerback.
