More Details Regarding The 64-Year-Old Professor’s Alleged Actions
Matsoukas was reportedly charged after the sexual acts were “caught on trail cameras” in April in Rothrock State Forest, Pennsylvania. Additionally, forest rangers were able to identify the professor due to a North Face backpack present with the suspect in the footage. As well as a Subaru Outback vehicle, which was also present at the crime’s location.
According to State College, the professor engaged in the acts “while naked” — only wearing a ski mask, watch, boots, and backpack. Additionally, Matsoukas allegedly filmed himself engaging in the actions on his dog with his iPad.
Upon search of the professor’s home, cops were able to positively identify the dog as the one captured on trail cameras. As well as locate the iPad used in the crime.
At the time, Matsoukas reportedly expressed the reason behind his actions.
“I’m done, I’m dead. You don’t understand, I do it to blow off steam.”
Additionally, he reportedly begged police officers to “shoot him,” as per WPMT.
According to the New York Post, Matsoukas has reportedly engaged in “lewd acts” in the forest since 2014.
He has a court hearing scheduled on July 19.
