NEWCASTLE, Australia, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Australia's Newcastle University said its library was steam cleaned after officials discovered a student was using the facility to film pornographic videos.

Officials said staff at the Auchmuty library were informed in October that a student had been filming sexually explicit videos in the facility and posting them to a pay-per-view pornographic website.

Parts of the library were ordered to be steam cleaned and pictures of the student were given to staff with instructions to alert security if she entered the library, officials said.

A university spokeswoman told the Newcastle Herald administrators were "very disappointed" to learn the student was "using internet facilities inappropriately on campus."

The spokeswoman said the student has been "counseled," but declined to elaborate.

"An important part of our duty of care is to protect our students' privacy and it would be inappropriate for the university to provide specific details in relation to the incident," she said.
