An Ohio State University staff member is on leave following accusations that he video recorded students inside a campus bathroom, 10TV’s Tanisha Mallett reported Monday.



The man, who 10TV News did not name because he has not been charged, is a patient care associate in the emergency room at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.



According to investigators, a male student was using a second-floor restroom inside Hughes Hall when the student noticed that a person in the middle stall had his cell phone propped up against his ankle.



Police said that the student snatched the cell phone away, left the restroom and reported the incident to police, Mallett reported.



Sophomore Jennifer Grimmer said that she knew all about the incident.



“One of my friends was victimized by the person with the camera,” Grimmer said.



Deputy Police Chief Richard Morman said that the accused man came back for an interview with police and currently is being investigated.



According to court documents, the man admitted to using his cell phone to video record another person.



Grimmer said that she wondered if there were other victims, Mallett reported.



“It made me really scared, and it made me wonder how many people have had this happen to them and if someone had been filming me sometime,” Grimmer said.



The hospital employee is on leave pending the investigation, Mallett reported.
