Miami-Dade man faces new voyeurism charges after restroom recordings
A woman at Miami Dade College's North Campus spotted a man recording from a neighboring stall, and he now faces four voyeurism counts.
Rishard Parsons, 31, now faces four counts of video voyeurism after Miami-Dade investigators linked new restroom-recording allegations to Miami Dade College’s North Campus. Miami-Dade County said Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Northside District deputies arrested him at about 10:03 p.m. on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, after two voyeurism incidents.
The case involved multiple victims. In one incident, a woman using a restroom spotted Parsons recording her from a neighboring stall, and reporting said a good Samaritan helped catch him. WSVN later reported that Parsons had been arrested twice and was facing new charges after the recordings at MDC, where the allegations centered on women’s restrooms at the North Campus.
Cases like this often begin with a specific warning sign: someone in an adjacent stall who is not behaving like a normal restroom user, a phone or lens pointed toward another stall, or a person who reacts aggressively when noticed. One WSVN report said Parsons shoved a victim who confronted him, a reminder that suspected voyeurism can turn physical when someone is challenged. Florida’s video voyeurism law bans secret recording in places where people are undressing and have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
If someone suspects recording in a public restroom, the safest move is to leave if possible and report it immediately. At Miami Dade College, incidents can be reported to the Department of Public Safety by telephone or in person, and emergency phones at some buildings, parking garages and parking lots are set up so officers know the caller’s exact location. Preserving the time, place and a description of the stall, device or suspect can help investigators compare witness accounts and build the case.
Parsons’ latest arrest adds another layer to a campus case that already spans multiple victims and repeated allegations.
