    LSU cornerback Javien Toviano turned himself in to police Sunday on charges of video voyeurism.

    According to an arrest warrant, the 19-year-old sophomore allegedly recorded himself having sex with a woman without her consent by using a clock with a built-in camera that was near the bed.

    The woman, who claims she told Toviano she didn’t want to be recorded, said she found videos of the two on Toviano’s iPad. The videos, according to the arrest report, were taken on July 5 and 6.

    Police were able to find three videos on Toviano’s iPad with a search warrant. On the videos, investigators were able to identify Toviano and the woman.

    In response, Toviano has been suspended by LSU from all team activities “in accordance with departmental policies,” according to a statement released Sunday by the university. The statement added that LSU has no further comment at this time “out of respect for the legal process.”

    Louisiana law states that someone convicted of voyeurism for the first time not be fined more than $500 and be imprisoned for no more than six months

    Toviano was a four-star recruit rated by 247Sports’ Composite ranking as the No. 57 prospect nationally in the 2023 class. The Arlington, Texas, native appeared in every one of the Tigers’ games last season as a freshman, including three starts in the team’s final five games. He finished with 33 tackles, one fumble recovery and one pass defended.
