Over the weekend, LSU football player Javien Toviano found himself in serious legal trouble.
The sophomore cornerback was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Sunday after an arrest warrant was issued against him for charges of video voyeurism. Toviano is accused of engaging in sexual activity with a woman and recording the encounter without her consent.
According to a report by The Times-Picayune, the woman discovered multiple videos of her and Toviano having sex on his iPad. These recordings were allegedly made using a clock with a built-in camera, which was discreetly placed near the bed. The woman informed the police that she had previously told Toviano she did not want to be recorded during their intimate moments.
During an interview with detectives, the 19-year-old Toviano confessed to using the hidden camera to record their sexual encounters without the woman’s knowledge or consent.

In response to these allegations, LSU issued a statement on Sunday announcing that Toviano has been suspended from all team activities in accordance with the school’s departmental policies. The university also stated that it would not comment further until the legal process is complete.
Toviano, who hails from Arlington, Texas, had a notable freshman season at LSU, appearing in every game and making three starts. He recorded 33 tackles and a pass breakup over the season. One of his standout performances came in LSU’s 52-35 victory over Florida in November, where he made 10 tackles and recovered a fumble.
This arrest casts a shadow over Toviano’s promising football career and raises serious concerns about his off-field behavior. The case is currently under investigation, and further developments are awaited as the legal process unfolds.
