A now-former Husson University employee is being investigated by police, the school said.
The university is aware of the police investigation into the person, who is no longer employed at the school, spokesperson Sarah Walker Caron said Thursday. She did not name the employee.
Husson learned about the investigation early on Sept. 21, Walker Caron said. The employee was escorted from campus and fired within an hour, she said.
Bangor police said there is an active investigation and declined to provide additional details.
A TikTok video from a Husson student, posted hours before the school issued its statement, outlines allegations against a school employee. It’s unclear if the video is directly related to the school’s statement.
In the video, she describes a fall 2025 exercise science class where the students’ body weights were needed. In a lab for the class, they were supposed to undress and weigh themselves, she said. She undressed to her bra and underwear, weighed herself, got dressed and went back to class.
She said she learned this week that there were hidden cameras near the scale taking footage of the weigh-ins. Police showed her three pictures of herself that were on the professor’s devices but they were blurry, so she said it could have been screenshots from a video.
She said she is “one of God knows how many victims” of the employee. The Bangor Daily News does not name victims of crimes without their permission. The student did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“I’m disgusted, I don’t really have words,” the student said in the video.
She said the Husson employee was her adviser, and that she had classes and conversations with the employee in the year since that class.
The employee the student names is not included on the school’s online staff directory, and a page about the person as an assistant coach for the university no longer exists.
The BDN is not naming the employee because the person has not been charged with a crime.
