A 34-second video shared on social media by ReduxxMag shows a man being confronted about being in the women’s locker change room.
The account captioned the video: “A woman in British Columbia, Canada, is reporting a male physically assaulted her 10 year-old niece in the female changing room of the Cowichan Aquatic Center. She says the man became violent after being confronted by parents for undressing in front of children.”
The man in the clip goes right up to the camera and tells the person filming, “I could identify as a lady with a beard, there’s nothing you can do about that.”
An argument between what appears to be two families takes place before another woman approaches and knocks the cell phone out of the filmer’s hands.

The video goes black for a few seconds, but people can be heard arguing as children scream and cry in the background.
A few seconds later, the filming continues, and three people can be seen grabbing at each other before the video ends abruptly.
Libs of TikTok reshared the video on X, alleging that during the incident — now under investigation by police — the man “reportedly became violent and physically assaulted a child.”
Jupitor Butler, the partner of Natus, the bearded man seen in the clip, told CHEK News “the whole thing was a misunderstanding” that started after their kids accidentally went into women’s locker room, not the space designated for families.
Butler claimed Natus had never gone into the women’s locker previously but needed his swim trunks, so he followed them in and changed in a bathroom stall.

Butler was approached by two women after Natus left, asking why he was in there.
She said she tried to explain but they “started getting aggressive” before her partner returned and lost it.
Butler alleged that one of the women pushed Natus, who was holding their daughter, and the baby’s head hit the wall.
Butler admitted to grabbing the woman and putting her into a headlock before they walked away.
She also denied that her partner was naked in front of any children and insisted that Natus is a man, despite him hinting otherwise.
