A male UNT student has been arrested and charged for allegedly trying to take nude photographs of a female Willis Library employee, according to a police report.
Freshman Andrey Vanzzini
UNT police arrested freshman Andrey Vanzzini Wednesday on four charges. He was released from Denton County Jail Thursday on bond. There was one charge of improper photography or visual recording, two charges of invasive digital recording and one charge of indecent exposure.
UNT police officers were dispatched to Willis Library on Sept. 7 after a female employee reported seeing a man reach through a bookshelf with his phone near the bottom of her dress. On Sept. 9 Sgt. Chris Deaton questioned Vanzzini in his dorm room. His phone was seized as evidence and, after a search warrant was granted, further examination of the phone revealed a “spy app” that was used to record and take photos of females in both Wooten Hall and Willis Library.
Three videos were located of the female library employee. One appears to have been taken on Sept. 5 and two others on Sept. 7. Four photographs purported to show male genitalia and a female sitting with her back to the camera were also found.
Police said library security video showed both Vanzzini and the victim inside the library on both dates. Vanzzini appears to be following the victim around the library for approximately three hours as she shelves books.
“If we believe they impose some level of threat we trespass them from campus,” Interim Chief of Police Ed Reynolds said.
Vanzzini was later arrested on Sept. 16 in his Fort Worth home. The case is awaiting trial. It is uncertain at this time whether Vanizzini is currently enrolled with the university.

Went to school with this creep. Always figured he would end up doing something like this, just never expected him to do it right out of high school.
