A University of Central Florida student accused of filming another student in a public bathroom is now facing another video voyeurism charge, police said Wednesday.
Shaun Ragasa, 19, is now accused of filming a student through an air-conditioning vent at an off-campus residence. He faces felony video-voyeurism charges.
“This a case of just good police work,” UCF Police Chief Richard Beary said. “It took some time. They went through hundreds of hours of video footage to be able to identify Ragasa and then track him down and place him under arrest.”
Campus police started investigating after a student told them someone filmed him in the men’s bathroom at the UCF Student Union. The student saw someone holding a phone with its camera flash on over the stall door and confronted the man in the stall, who started crying, said he deleted the video and ran out of the restroom, records show.
The student called the police.
Investigators looked through surveillance video from outside the bathroom and found footage of a man running out at about the time of the reported incident, records show. They noticed his T-shirt had a the logo of Circle K International, a community service organization with a UCF branch. They looked through photos of group members on Facebook and found Ragasa, who looked like the man in the video. Police found him at the next Circle K meeting.
When they searched Ragasa’s phone, police found two videos of another person in a public restroom and one taken through an air conditioning vent.
They initially arrested Ragasa only on charges stemming from the confrontation in the Student Union bathroom. Ragasa was taken to the Orange County Jail, then released on bond.
Police then found the person who was filmed through air vents. The person did not know about the video or agree to be filmed, police said.
Police are still looking for one other person Ragasa allegedly filmed in a public restroom. They did not describe the person.
