I was at Princeton on Wednesday for a class when I heard about this story. I heard from the Princeton students in my class that this fellow was also very active in the campus Magic: The Gathering society. go figure, I guess :)

Once again I am reminded why I seldom eat at restaurants.

A graduate student in the mathematics department has been charged by Borough police with reckless endangerment and harassment in connection with more than 60 incidents targeting Asian women on campus.

He only meant to be lude, not rewd.

Sounds like a future Democrat candidte for Present to me.

A search of Lohman's apartment revealed "a quantity of women's panties and numerous mittens,"

Mittens instead of gloves....strange indeed

[isom35]

ancient chinese secret?

[Vicomte13]

Sounds to me like he missed his calling.
He definitely needs to be a Peace Corps volunteer in Thailand.

[AlGone2001]

Man... there are some freaky people in this world.

[jimboster]

We're the mittens, like, clipped to his jacket so he could just pull them on whenever he wanted to err...gratify himself?

[cripplecreek]

"Princeton is the place he really wanted to come,"


Now there's an unfortunate comment.

[AmishDude]

Gee, an insane mathematician, who would have figured?

[Mike Bates]

It's only about sex. Nothing here. Move on.

[cripplecreek]

Kinda makes you glad that steven Hawking is confined to a wheelchair doesn't it?

[Contra]

Sounds like your average ivy league type.

[AmishDude]

Nah, Hawking's a physicist. The wuss.

[Doe Eyes]

It's only about sex. Nothing here. Move on.

If we only had stronger laws against pouring bodily fluid into drinks, these kind of things wouldn't happen.

If we only had stronger laws against pouring bodily fluid into drinks, these kind of things wouldn't happen.

There's probably someone in Congress thinking about new legislation right now:

Michael J. Lohman

PACM Graduate Students

[AmishDude]

Oxley said he "was really impressed with [Lohman's] mathematical ability" -- so impressed that he recommended that Lohman go to Princeton for graduate school. He encouraged Lohman to work with Paul Seymour, a University professor he considered "the best person" in the field of graph theory.

I am a graph theorist. I didn't understand this story because "applied and computational mathematics" does not include graph theory. Also, Paul Seymour is excellent, but his stock has risen because he was part of a team that just proved a very long-standing conjecture. He's in the top 5, but you can't really rank them.

"Police say Michael Lohman, a 28-year-old Princeton grad student admitted to them that he would fill small, plastic bottles with his own urine or semen and then spray it on unsuspecting women or pour the bodily fluids into their beverages when they weren't looking."

"Det. Sgt. Ernie Silagy, Princeton Township Police: "He would walk up, he'd put the bodily fluids into the drink and then he would walk away and observe then drinking it. He put the bodily fluids in the drinks at Fine Hall Library."
