Themis Matsoukas, 64, of State College, Centre County, Pennsylvania, United States is originally from Greece. In 1991, he joined Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) in University Park, State College as a chemical engineering professor.
While at Penn State, Matsoukas received the AXE: Outstanding Teacher Award in 2005, the Outstanding Teaching Award from Penn State Engineering Society in 2006 and the George W. Atherton Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2009. In 2017, he received the Premier Teaching Award from the Penn State Engineering Alumni Society.
Matsoukas is in images from trail cameras in Rothrock State Forest, which is near State College, dating as far back as 2014. His North Face backpack is seen in the images, which depict him naked from the waist down, except for socks and shoes.
On April 13, 2023, Matsoukas was caught on camera committing sexual acts with his dog, a collie, near the restrooms at Rothrock State Forest. Park rangers identified him by his North Face backpack.
On June 9, 2023, park rangers served a search warrant to Matsoukas at his home in State College. Visibly nervous, the Penn State professor told the park rangers, “I’m done.”
“I’m dead,” Matsoukas continued. “You don’t understand. I do it to blow off steam.”
According to Penn State, Matsoukas has been relieved of his responsibilities. He was charged with open lewdness, indecent exposure, sexual intercourse with an animal, cruelty to animals and disorderly conduct.
On July 19, 2023, Matsoukas will attend a preliminary hearing in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. He is represented by Matthew McClenahen.

Pedophiles, sodomites, and animal rapists…but the systemic racism of Penn state muckety mucks will never allow for Black and Brown professors to receive tenure. I guess there are some Penn State requirements that qualified minorities just aren’t willing to engage in.
