Orlando – A 23-year-old University of Central Florida (UCF) student named Yeonsoo Lee was arrested on Thursday for allegedly recording a female student without her consent in the university’s library. The incident occurred on the fifth floor of the UCF library, which is located at 12701 Pegasus Drive.
According to reports, the victim was studying when she noticed a cellphone camera pointed directly at her. Upon realizing what was happening, she confronted Lee and demanded to see his phone. During this confrontation, the woman discovered a recorded video of herself on Lee’s device. Witnesses at the scene supported her account, confirming that Lee claimed taking videos was part of “his job.” He also purportedly mentioned that there were “entire communities” dedicated to such recordings and admitted to selling photographs and videos of women.
Lee reportedly deleted the video of the victim before law enforcement arrived. The UCF Police Department (UCFPD) responded promptly after receiving a call from the victim regarding the situation. Following an investigation, Lee was charged with video voyeurism and tampering with physical evidence. He was transported to the Orange County Correctional Facility, where he is currently held without bond.
The UCFPD has stated that they are continuing to investigate the matter, and additional details concerning the case may emerge as the inquiry proceeds. The incident highlights the ongoing concerns surrounding privacy and consent, particularly in public spaces like university libraries.
This event is part of a larger conversation surrounding issues of voyeurism and the misuse of technology for inappropriate purposes. Such incidents have become more prevalent with the proliferation of smartphones, raising awareness for educational institutions about the need to enhance measures to protect students’ privacy and safety.
In recent years, universities have been urged to implement more robust policies and educational programs aimed at preventing harassment and ensuring a safe environment for all students. Educational institutions continue to grapple with balancing access to communal spaces while fostering a culture of respect and consent.
Victims of inappropriate recording or voyeurism are encouraged to report these incidents to the proper authorities to seek justice and support. Universities, including UCF, are increasingly recognizing the importance of creating secure environments for their students and providing resources for those who may find themselves in vulnerable situations.
As investigations continue, UCF officials are expected to review safety protocols in the library and possibly introduce new measures to ensure student security. The university community is reminded that all members have a responsibility to look out for one another and to take action when witnessing potential harassment or misconduct.
This case serves as a reminder of the serious implications of privacy violations and the importance of trust within the educational environment. Following the incident, students are advised to remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings and to report any suspicious behavior immediately.
