A BCIT student accused of peeping on fellow students in a school bathroom last year has pled guilty to the crime.

According to court records, Chieh-Sen Yang pleaded guilty to two charges of secretly observing or recording nudity in a private place.

The plea was entered during a court appearance on July 21.

The 23-year-old was originally charged on Nov. 20, 2015 with one count stemming from an incident four days earlier at the school.

However, in April, Yang was charged with a second offence that dated back to Oct. 22, 2015.

In May, Burnaby RCMP noted the new charge was a result of the Mounties' investigation, and that the two charges involved two separate incidents and two different victims at BCIT.

Yang allegedly used a mirror and cellphone to record men in a washroom on the Burnaby campus.

His case is scheduled to be back in Vancouver provincial court on Sept. 21 for a pre-sentence report.

After word got out about the case in February, BCIT administration sent a statement to all students at the school, reassuring students that safety is a priority.
