Set a mousetrap, catch a mammoth.

It all started innocently enough; the diligent staff at Seeger sought to end the practice of sanitizer theft by installing cameras.

The cameras right away picked up a Penn State professor fucking his dog.

Around 8 p.m. the following day, the camera captured multiple brief videos that allegedly showed a man later identified as [Themis] Matsoukas — who was naked, except for a ski mask, wrist watch, boots and backpack — masturbating near the women’s restroom and then engaging in a sexual act with a dog. The videos also showed that Matsoukas appeared to be recording himself with an iPad.

… Owners of two private camps surrounded by Rothrock also contacted state forest staff when they discovered images from their trail cameras of a man who was nude from the waist down, a ranger wrote. The six photos dated back as far as 2014 and investigators identified Matsoukas as the man in each, according to the affidavit.

Matsoukas again appeared on the DCNR trail camera on May 16 and he was identified by his vehicle registration.

Investigators executed a search warrant for Matsoukas’s State College-area home on June 9 and found an iPad, backpack, ski mask, watch and boots, all of which appeared to match those observed in the video. A dog at the home also had identical characteristics of the one in the video …

Matsoukas allegedly denied having the items when investigators first arrived, but then became upset and said “I do it to blow off steam.”

It’s not quite Sandusky in the showers, but Matsoukas in the park will no doubt take its own small place in the history of the school…

UD‘s wondering about that ski mask… You’re going to the trouble of repeatedly taking your sex life out of the privacy of your home and into a big public park (“Matsoukas’s location was within viewing distance of a road frequently used by visitors to the Alan Seeger picnic area, leased camps, Penn Roosevelt State Park and the Greenwood Fire Tower”) because (I guess) the risk of discovery heightens your excitement. Why then the ski mask? Do you use it at home too because you’re ashamed of what you’re doing? Surely the dog harbors no doubt of your identity.
