An award-winning professor at Penn State University already accused of performing sexual acts on his pet dog in a public park is facing additional charges for allegedly engaging a spate of other lewd sexual acts in the Pennsylvania park, including masturbating in various locations and rubbing his genitals on handrails and pavilions.

Themis Matsoukas, a professor of chemical engineering, has been charged with additional criminal counts of indecent exposure, burglary of an overnight accommodation, criminal trespassing, and disorderly conduct, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

Those latest allegations come in addition to the charges filed against Matsoukas last June, which included one count each of sexual intercourse with an animal, cruelty to animals, indecent exposure, open lewdness, and disorderly conduct.

The new charges are the result of investigators poring over hours of videos from numerous electronic devices seized by authorities following Matsoukas’ initial arrest which allegedly showed him performing a series of obscene acts in Alan Seeger State Park, according to a copy of the criminal complaint obtained by Johnstown NBC affiliate WJAC.

The videos reportedly showed Matsoukas wearing a black ski mask — and nothing else — as he stood atop a pavilion in the park and engaged in a sexual act with a tree branch. Another video reportedly showed him engaging in a similar sexual act with a Tootsie Pop before masturbating in a public pond.

Investigators also obtained additional video footage from trail cameras throughout the park, some of which reportedly showed Matsoukas engaging in sexual acts while inside of equipment belonging to the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Another video is alleged to show Matsoukas on top of a picnic table as he performed a sexual act involving “fecal matter” and some flowers.
