A 23-year-old Exeter student has been accused of secretly filming young women in university residential areas.
Benjamin Fu, of Hook Hill Lane, Woking, gave no plea to five counts of voyeurism and twice trespassing with intent to commit a sexual offence.
Fu appeared at Exeter Crown Court via video link from HMP Exeter. Due to ongoing investigations, no plea was indicated and the case was adjourned to May 29.
The prosecution allege that he had been recording women in their homes, as well as entering bedrooms and going through possessions and underwear drawers.
The offences are said to have taken place between October 1, 2025, and February 3, 2026, at popular student areas including Springfield Road, Pennsylvania Road, Victoria Street and Hoopern Street.
Fu came to police attention in October last year but at that stage there was insufficient evidence and he was placed on conditional bail.
He was later rearrested, charged and remanded to Exeter Magistrates’ Court where he appeared on February 16 for a first hearing. He has remained in custody since then.
