The dude has always had an Asian fetish. But he went too far this time and it is not cool he is reigning terror.
He has been hooked on them for like 5 years and he hit a dry patch. I tried to talk him out of these techniques.
He didn't listen, they will catch him. I almost want to end it for him. Life on the run is no fun.

PSU campus flasher adds to spree

UNIVERSITY PARK — Police have knocked on doors, increased security, and put up fliers.
Residence assistants and coordinators are talking to students, but nothing seems to be convincing them to take seriously a growing number of indecent exposures, police said.
And the masked man victimizing mostly Asian women on campus is continuing to get away with the crime without police being able to get any description of his face.
The 14th similar incident happened about 1:30 a.m. Thursday in a study lounge in Runkle Hall. That residence is part of North Halls, where four other women have been victimized in a similar fashion, and where “Crime Alert” fliers were posted in the hallways when the man exposed himself most recently.
“We can say that it seems to be similar,” said university police Assistant Chief Tyrone Parham. “We’d obviously love to catch this guy.”
Since the indecent exposure incidents began to be noticed in August 2009, there have been 14 similar instances on campus and four in apartment complexes on Waupelani Drive in State College.
In all cases, the man was wearing some kind of mask. He’s described as light-skinned or Asian, and college-aged.
Two people have been arrested in recent months for similar crimes, but at this point, police have ruled out one man, and aren’t charging the other.
So far, the biggest hurdle for police has been that many students think it’s a joke.
Around the Halloween holiday, there were a few “pranks” related to the spree, Parham said. Dormitory residents don’t think twice about holding the locked entrance doors for strangers — a practice known as piggybacking. And even some victims have delayed reporting what they’ve seen.
“We’re also concerned that there are other victims out there that may not have reported at all,” Parham said. “And that there are witnesses out there that may have seen him lurking around in the building and the hallway and may not have reported it.”
After the most recent incident, police spent the day in Runkle Hall, waiting for students to return from class to be interviewed. They tried to get a description of everyone who had been seen inside that building Wednesday and Thursday.
That’s because, Parham said, this person isn’t walking into the building with a mask and no pants. It’s likely that people are seeing his face before he commits the crime.
“He probably blends in and looks like an everyday student,” Parham said. “So we’re telling them, not really to trust anyone, to let everyone use their own ID card. ... You’re almost assuming responsibility for the entire building, letting one person in that they think might be legitimate.”
This crime occurs often on campus, but the offenders are usually caught quickly, Parham said. This spree, going on for 18 months, is the longest string of crimes of this nature that have gone unsolved, Parham said.
Police are working to get surveillance cameras into campus dorms in the coming years, but that project will take time and cooperation of the Office of the Physical Plant, and of Penn State housing services, which owns the buildings.
Until then, police have increased patrols, but are counting on students to be vigilant, Parham said.
“As far as a prank, parents don’t think so, police don’t think so, administrators don’t think so,” he said, and shrugged, “But students...”"
