LSU cornerback Javien Toviano arrested on video voyeurism charges, 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 recording himself having sex with a woman without her consent, according to an arrest warrant. The woman told investigators she found videos of the two of them on Toviano’s iPad, recorded by a clock with a built-in camera that was placed near the bed, The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported.

The woman told detectives that Toviano had filmed them having sex in the past without her consent and that she didn’t want that.

Toviano admitted in an interview with detectives that he used a hidden camera to record the sexual encounters, the arrest warrant states.

Information about the bond was not immediately available. It was unknown whether Toviano has an attorney who can 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 be commenting further,” the university said.

Toviano signed with LSU last year. He appeared in every game as a freshman and made three starts in the final five games. He finished his freshman season with 33 tackles and one pass breakup.

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