Someone Filming PSU Students
Portland, Oregon – A trip to the bathroom at Portland State University has turned really creepy. Students are on alert for a guy with a camera. Pretty gross stuff, at least five reports of a guy using his camera phone to video tape people in the bathroom stall. He’s held the camera under the stall, above the stall, has also looked through the stall and in one case followed a student as that person walked through a building on campus.
Students tell KGW they’ll keep a watch out for this guy. Will there be an arrest anytime soon? Security says it only has a vague description of the creep with the camera so far. Campus security says the first reported incident happened at the end of January in the Smith’s Center, and the last one was on February 15th. That time the student said someone filmed them while they were walking through Cramer Hall. If you have any nonemergency concerns regarding safety issues at PSU, please contact Campus Public Safety at 503.725.4407.
