A student at College of the Canyons in Southern California recorded a man trying to film her in a women’s bathroom. The incident happened in October when the student caught the man’s hand reaching under a stall. She yelled and confronted him, asking why he was recording her. This event is part of a troubling pattern. Campus officials had warned students earlier this month about a man recording women in restrooms. The school has seen at least three similar incidents over the past year, prompting officials to remind students to report any suspicious activity. The student who filmed the confrontation said she felt scared and has avoided using campus restrooms since the incident. After learning about two other similar events, she decided to share her video online. She explained that when she entered the bathroom, she thought the person in the stall was another woman. In another recent incident at the school, another student reported seeing a man filming her in the restroom. She was shocked when she noticed his camera aimed toward her. Both students have reported their experiences to campus security and law enforcement. The student from the October incident expressed her fear and the mental strain she has faced since the event. She carries pepper spray with her now and said the experience has deeply affected her well-being. Since posting her video, she has received messages from other students unaware of the incidents.
