In March of 2019, Carlos Antonio Alberti, of Richmond, MA, was arrested for taking cellphone images of women at the private liberal arts college between October 2018 and January 2019.
Albert was a student at the time of the incidents, but when he was arrested he was separated from campus pending the College’s student conduct process.
Police at the time said most incidents occurred at the Plant House dormitory. The restrooms there are co-ed. Connecticut College had previously issued a statement saying “We have taken measures including the installation of privacy curtains in an affected residence hall…and ensured that there are private restroom options in the affected buildings.”
