Responding to recent charges leveled against him, Nittany Lion basketball player Stanley Pringle told police he was touching his penis but was not masturbating in the Pattee Library stacks last Thursday.

Pringle told police he has "a bad habit of putting his hand down his pants," and demonstrated for the officer by placing his hand down the front of his sweatpants, according to the complaint.

"Why would I need to masturbate?" he told police. "This is how I chill, ma'am."

Centre County District Judge Jonathan Grine signed a criminal complaint on Friday leveling charges of open lewdness and disorderly conduct against the junior guard. The Penn State police sent the charges to Grine Wednesday, but the complaint remained unsigned until he returned to the office.

His mother should have paddled his hands with a wooden spoon when he was a preschooler.

Stanley Pringle needs to leave his dingle alone while in public.

"The victim said she did not turn around because she was afraid, adding that she believed this to be the sound of masturbation and could see a reflection of Pringle's hand moving back and forth, according to the criminal complaint.

The woman told police that Pringle then answered his ringing cell phone and proceeded to make "moaning sounds" and "sounded like he was short of breath."

Frightened, the victim said she sent a text message to her friend asking for her to call her so she had an excuse to leave the area, according to the criminal complaint.

The victim told police that after walking through the bookshelves while answering her phone, she saw Pringle rubbing his hands together, "as if he had just put lotion on them," and when she returned to her seat, she said she saw Pringle tying the drawstring on his sweatpants.

Why in the world didn't this young woman just say 'excuse me' and get the heck outta Dodge? Seems to me that she sat around for an extraordinary amount of time and kept a rather close eye on the guy.

Of course, I wasn't there and I have absolutely no idea what happened ... but young black men and white wannabes do keep their hands down the front of their pants. I see it in public every time I go to town.

Really don't know what to think, it just struck me that the 'victim' didn't make much of an effort not to watch and to get out of the area. Thanks for the update.

****Pringle told police he has "a bad habit of putting his hand down his pants,"****

I blame in on perhaps watching Married To Children as a kid. LOL!

I kind of believe the guy. Like Al Bundy up above, he might just think it’s comfortable sticking his hand down his pants.
