University of Queensland campus rocked by allegations that female students were filmed in toilets

A university has been rocked by allegations that dozens of female students were unknowingly filmed in toilets on campus over the course of a month.

A man, 24, is accused of committing the alleged offences in bathrooms between May 6 and June 1 at University of Queensland's St Lucia campus and in Sunnybank in Brisbane's south.

He was arrested at Brisbane Airport late Tuesday night.

Police seized the man’s phone during the arrest and allegedly uncovered 'a number of indecent videos of women taken in public areas in Brisbane without their consent'. 

The Woolloongabba man faces 155 charges of observations or recordings in breach of privacy and an additional 10 counts of entering a premises with the intention of offending.

He appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday where he was refused bail.

He will reappear at the same court next month. 

Students at the St Lucia campus were shocked to hear about the allegations.

'Quite unsettling for a lot of young women, especially just on this campus and in general,' one told Seven News.

Another added: 'It’s disgusting. I would feel so unsafe if I was in a bathroom with someone filming me.

A University of Queensland spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia that the accused man is now banned campus grounds.

They added that the university will support the 'ongoing police investigation'.

'The university would like to make it clear that we have zero tolerance for this type of alleged behaviour,' the spokesperson said. 

'We have assured staff and students today that UQ has taken immediate action to prevent the individual attending our campuses should he be released from custody.

'Our Sexual Misconduct Support Unit offers safe and confidential support services to any members of our community with concerns related to this or other matters.

'As the matter is before the courts, we are unable to provide further information.'
