A Vancouver man charged with secretly recording nudity in a female change room at the University of British Columbia (UBC) is now being investigated for similar activities on campus and at the B.C. Institute of Technology (BCIT), according to The Province.
Jay Forster, 42, has been charged with two counts of secretly observing or recording nudity in a private place on Oct. 2 after a female student complained she had seen him spying on her while changing in the women’s locker room of UBC’s Osborne Centre gym, according to the RCMP.
The woman said she caught the man staring at her in the change room on Sept. 28 and reported the man to police four days later after she and a friend found him crouched in a shower, according to an RCMP application for a search warrant of the suspect.
Investigators are currently searching for a link between these two incidents and at least one other that took place at UBC last year, in addition to a similar incident at BCIT reported Sept. 27, RCMP Staff-Sgt. Kevin Jones told The Province.
“We’ve had other complaints,” Jones told UBC’s campus paper, The Ubyssey. “So we’re trying to see if we can tie in any other complaints to this individual, both on campus and at BCIT.”
The RCMP also alleged that videos were found on Forster’s cellphone containing female nudity, which appeared to be filmed from underneath a shower stall, according to the search warrant application.
Forster was scheduled to appear in B.C. Provincial Court on Nov. 1.
