Alexander Michael Evanoff, 19, was charged with one count of disclosing private images and two felony counts of secret peeping after allegedly recording a sexual encounter with a University of North Carolina at Charlotte student and sharing the video

Police said a 19-year-old was taken into custody after allegedly filming a University of North Carolina at Charlotte student during sex and sent the video to a fraternity group chat.

Officials accused Alexander Michael Evanoff of using his cellphone on Sept. 19 to secretly record a "sexually explicit video" of a woman while the two had sex, then sharing it without her consent. He was charged with one count of disclosing private images and two counts of felony secret peeping.

After Evanoff and the woman had sex, he allegedly sent a video of the sexually explicit recording to a Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity group chat, which had 32 members.

During an interview with law enforcement, according to the affidavit, Evanoff allegedly admitted to intentionally recording the sexual act and sending it to the fraternity group chat.

He also acknowledged to detectives that he didn't request or obtain the victim's permission to create or distribute the video.

When the woman confronted Evanoff about the alleged recording, she asked if sending it to the fraternity group chat made him "appear cool," to which he "responded affirmatively" and apologized.

Evanoff was arrested Monday and released Tuesday on $10,000 bond, according to court and jail records.


Saylor Schwab, assistant director of communications for the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, told Fox News Digital that Evanhoff's bid for initiation was rescinded after learning of the allegations against him.

"The individual is not a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and was never initiated into the North Carolina Beta Chapter. In September 2026, the leaders of the North Carolina Beta Chapter swiftly acted after learning of the individual's alleged conduct and rescinded his bid for initiation. Sigma Alpha Epsilon expects all collegiate members to hold one another accountable, and the North Carolina Beta Chapter leaders did exactly that. Sigma Alpha Epsilon condemns any and all forms of sexual misconduct and remains committed to building a culture of True Gentlemen in every chapter," Schwab said.

A University of North Carolina at Charlotte spokesperson told WSOC that Evanoff isn't a student.

"The individual who has been charged is not currently enrolled at the University. The alleged conduct in this case, if true, is reprehensible. It is not what we expect or will tolerate from members of our campus community," the spokesperson said.

Fox News Digital reached out to the university and Evanoff's attorney for comment.
