Man convicted of exposing self and assaulting women in Penn State University housing

Ryan Ho was found guilty of 72 charges.

A central Pennsylvania man was convicted of exposing himself and assaulting women inside Penn State University residence halls and off-campus apartments over two years.

The Centre Daily Times reports Ryan Ho was found guilty Thursday of 72 charges including assault and indecent exposure. The verdict followed two hours of jury deliberations after the three-day trial in Centre County court.

The prosecution said DNA evidence linked Ho to several crime scenes and he confessed to police after his arrest in May 2011.

More than a dozen victims testified in person and by video. Police said over time Ho's behavior grew more aggressive, as he began grabbing and fondling his victims and physically blocking them from escaping.

Ho took the stand and denied all the charges.

He will be sentenced Aug. 7.
