Alleged peeping tom caught hiding in ceiling of college women's soccer locker room

An Ohio man was arrested after allegedly hiding in the ceiling above a college women’s soccer locker room and photographing players as they changed, according to local reports.

Jayson Barker of Jeffersonville is facing 11 voyeurism charges after he was found inside the ceiling of the women’s locker room at Wilmington College, WLWT-TV reported.

Wilmington police were called to the Scheve Athletic Center shortly before 9:40 p.m. Tuesday after receiving reports that someone was taking pictures of team members in the locker room.

By the time officers arrived, Wilmington College Campus Safety personnel had detained Barker.

Investigators said Barker was working at the school as a contract custodial employee and had concealed himself in the ceiling above the locker room. A member of the soccer team ultimately discovered him.

“The college’s paramount concern is the safety and well-being of its students,” the institution said in a statement to the news outlet. “We have been providing counseling and other support services for the affected students since Tuesday night and are taking measures to ensure that no student’s safety or well-being is compromised.”
