A high-ranking administrator at Rutgers University has been arrested and charged with invasion of privacy after allegedly recording illicit "upskirt" videos on campus.
Joshua Kohut, 51, of Cranbury, who serves as the Dean of Research at the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, was charged with fourth-degree invasion of privacy, according to Attorney General and the Division of Criminal Justice.
State authorities executed a search warrant on Aug. 24, 2026, seizing electronic devices belonging to Kohut. A preliminary forensic preview revealed video recordings of an individual's undergarments taken without their knowledge or consent.
If convicted, the fourth-degree charge carries a potential penalty of up to 18 months in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
