Los Angeles County – Authorities are on the lookout for a man suspected of secretly recording students inside women’s restrooms at the College of The Canyons Valencia campus. The incidents, which have occurred between October 2024 and March 2025, have raised concerns about privacy and safety on campus.
The case first came to light when one of the victims posted a video online, detailing her disturbing encounter. The victim recounted her experience, stating, “While using the restroom, I looked down and saw a phone underneath the stall recording me.
