A 19-year-old international student has been arrested in connection with a voyeurism investigation launched by Toronto police earlier this year.

On Tuesday, officers received reports of someone allegedly filming female students at a residence hall washroom at the University of Toronto.

In this incident, the victim says she was showering when she noticed a shadow over the shower curtain.

“A short while later, the victim observed the same cell phone over the shower curtain again by the unknown suspect, recording,” police said in a release Saturday.
