Less than two weeks after Javien Toviano turned himself in to the police on suspicion of video voyeurism, LSU reinstated the cornerback. Coach Brian Kelly briefly acknowledged Toviano’s attendance at the Tigers’ first session of fall camp on Thursday, without providing an explanation for his return to the team.
Toviano is expected to start for LSU. Kelly told reporters, “He’s back in football activities, and we’ll kind of get him going again, back in the mix.” He will undoubtedly be a competitive player for us.
We’ll get him going while he resolves his legal issues; he played for us the previous year. An arrest warrant from Baton Rouge, Louisiana police claims that Toviano recorded himself having intercourse with a woman without getting her permission to do so.
The woman informed the authorities that Toviano had previously recorded them having sex without getting her permission, and she had explicitly told him that she did not want to be on camera.
The woman claimed that she discovered films on Toviano’s iPad after discovering them on a built-in camera clock next to the bed. In a detective interview, Toviano acknowledged using the covert camera for this reason. According to WBRZ in Baton Rouge, Toviano this week engaged a new attorney.
In 13 games as a freshman, Toviano—a top-100 recruit in the Class of 2023—finished with 33 tackles, one pass breakup, and one fumble recovery.
