More than 100 online videos recently posted by "kingbootyhunter" on several Web sites showcase rear ends of unknowing women walking around the University of Central Florida's campus, and UF women have also been targeted.
After a UCF student senator reported seeing a questionable online video featuring UCF campus landmarks, officials tried without success to find the user who posted the video.
But UCF isn't kingbootyhunter's only backdrop.
One video filmed in October shows a woman in black spandex pants on her way to UF's Student Recreation and Fitness Center on Fletcher Drive. The video lasts more than a minute.
At one point, the brunette jerks her head toward her follower, but the cameraman conceals the video camera. The woman does not acknowledge her follower at any other point.
The UCF senator, Ben Collard, reported the videos to the UCF Police Department on Friday morning, and department spokesman Cpl. James Roop sent an e-mail to UCF students warning them about the filmmaker.
Roop said videotaping people without their knowledge is not a crime if it's done in public, but any "up-the-skirt" videos would warrant a criminal investigation.
Capt. Jeff Holcomb, UF Police Department spokesman, said he has not heard any complaints about the videos on UF's campus.
"There's no law against being videotaped by someone," Holcomb said.
He said "voyeur," the term used to describe the follower in most of the media coverage, is inaccurate because this person's activity is not illegal.
If someone were to call UPD while being followed by someone videotaping them, UPD would send officers to the scene to confront the person, Holcomb said.
Collard found the videos on a news site Thursday night, leading UCF's Student Government Association to examine about 25 videos from the user's profiles on Web sites including YouTube, Revver.com and Dailymotion.com.
After an Orlando reporter tried to contact the user, he or she immediately took down the videos, Collard said.
