Victims testify on stand against accused serial flasher

By WJAC Web Staff and Bill Wadell

CENTRE COUNTY, Pa. —

Several of the alleged victims testified on the stand Tuesday against the man accused of exposed himself to nearly two-dozen women in and around the Penn State University Park campus for nearly two years.

A jury of eight women and four men are hearing the case against 34-year-old Ryan Ho, accused of indecent assault, burglary, prowling, and indecent exposure charges.

Prosecutors dropped several charges before the trial, connected to three accusers who could not be tracked down to testify at the trial.

In her opening statements, Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller said Ho targeted young, asian female and that his crimes escalated from flashing targeted women in public places to breaking into an apartment and scuffling with a woman on the floor of her bedroom while he performed sex acts on himself.

Several alleged victims, who have since graduated from Penn State, flew in to testify against Ho in person, while other accusers were cross examined in videotaped depositions shown to the jurors.

Ho’s defense attorney told jurors that her client comes from a different culture with different experiences, but she is not expected to call anyone to testify for the defense in the trial.
