Voyeurism Charges

A 21-year-old Peterborough man is facing voyeurism charges after a 13-month investigation.

In late August 2025, the Peterborough Police Service took a call for service after a camera device was located in a private washroom at the Seneca Polytechnic flight school at the Peterborough Airport and turned it into security.  Through investigation officers were able to identify a suspect who was a student and several victims.

On Thursday, October 16, 2026, officers attended the flight school and arrested the suspect without incident. Officers also seized several electronic devices from the accused.

As a result of the investigation, a 21-year-old Peterborough man was arrested and charged with:

• Voyeurism X2

The accused was released on an undertaking with conditions and is scheduled to appear in court January 5, 2027.

The Peterborough Police Service would like to thank Seneca Polytechnic for their cooperation throughout this investigation.

Nothing further will be released at this time as the investigation is ongoing.
