Police have arrested a man in connection with recent voyeurism acts after a group of female students noticed someone holding a cellphone over a curtain while they showered at a University of Toronto (U of T) residence.

Authorities said that between January 2024 and March 2024, police received reports of voyeurism in the Spadina Avenue and Willcocks Street area.

Shunnosuke Koshikawa, 19, an international student, has been arrested and charged with voyeurism and mischief.

A police spokesperson said officers are asking the public to be aware and report any suspicious activity to the authorities, noting that there may be more victims.
