UF Vet School 2027 Class Communications Co-Chair Still Sitting Despite Voyeurism Charges
Gustavo Alejandro Zamora-Vazquez, 24, was arrested on September 22 and charged with digital voyeurism.
Zamora-Vazquez was caught recording a woman taking a shower by Alachua County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) Deputy Ethan Miller. Miller reported that Zamora-Vazquez said, “I’m going to be honest,” and admitted to recording the victim.
The State Attorney’s Office has formally filed Zamora Vazquez’s charges.
Zamora-Vazquez was released after paying a $5,000 bond. He has a case management hearing on November 25.
Last week, an anonymous third-year UF Vet student told GnvInfo about a Reddit post made by a UF Vet student about Zamora-Vazquez being in their program. The post has been deleted but comments show a GnvInfo report on Zamora-Vazquez and screenshots of his arrest report.
The UF Vet School Class of 2027 Instagram has a post acknowledging that Zamora-Vazquez sits as the communications co-chair.
The anonymous informant reported that UF Vet School “sent out an email that the second years are gonna be shadowing my class. A woman is being shadowed by the offender.”
The informant said that UF Vet School only “cares about pass rates, GPA, and their appearances; they don’t care if people are morally bankrupt or harming people. It's all men. They preach we need diversity because the vet field is mostly women, so they allow men to behave like this.”
UF Vet School Dean Dana Zimmel has reportedly elected not to suspend Zamora-Vazquez while his charges are pending and has allowed him to hold his position of communications co-chair despite being an alleged voyeur.
GnvInfo emailed Zimmel to ask her why Zamora-Vazquez is sitting as the communications co-chair when facing charges of digital voyeurism. She hasn’t responded.
“Students in Veterinary Medicine and other health professions curricula are held to standards of conduct that both differ from and exceed those usually expected of university students. Consequently, DVM students are required to demonstrate clinical competency, including reasonable skill, safe practice, and professional behavior at all times. Students may be removed from program experiences at any time for unsafe or unprofessional behavior. Students can be removed from the veterinary curriculum and/or any college sponsored programs or organizations based on violation of professional conduct. Professional conduct is required whether on campus or off campus.” UF Vet School Handbook (page75)
