A former student at Wesleyan University is facing multiple criminal charges after authorities say he secretly recorded individuals inside campus dormitory bathrooms.
Arrest and Charges
According to police in Middletown, 19-year-old Samuel Schumann, also known as “VuVu,” was arrested on April 6 following the issuance of a warrant.
Schumann, a resident of Brooklyn, is charged with 31 counts of voyeurism under Connecticut law.
Details of the Investigation
Investigators say the alleged incidents occurred between September and October 2025 inside campus dormitories, where Schumann was enrolled as a student at the time.
Authorities identified 19 female victims, most of whom were students, who were allegedly recorded without their knowledge inside bathroom facilities.
University and Police Response
University officials alerted law enforcement once the allegations surfaced and cooperated fully with the investigation.
The case was handled by the Middletown Police Special Investigations Unit, which spent approximately two months tracking down the suspect.
Suspect Surrenders, Released on Bond
Police said Schumann arranged a voluntary surrender after the arrest warrant was issued.
He was processed and later released after posting a $100,000 surety bond.
Court Appearance Scheduled
Schumann is expected to appear in court later this month as the case moves forward.
Ongoing Concerns
The case has raised concerns about privacy and safety in campus housing, particularly regarding surveillance and unauthorized recordings in private spaces.
