Henrietta, N.Y. —

A Rochester Institute of Technology student has been charged after allegedly masturbating in a women’s bathroom on campus.

Eric N. Siegel, 21, was charged by Monroe County deputies on Tuesday, Jan. 12 with public lewdness after allegedly exposing himself to a female student in a women’s bathroom in the Student Development Center.

Deputies, who did not give Siegel’s hometown, said the female student reported that a man entered the women’s bathroom and pressed up against an opening in the stall where she was, and began to masturbate. The man left after she kicked the stall door.

Siegel, a fifth-year computer engineering student, was charged the following day.

“Any disruption to our community is unacceptable at RIT,” said Dawn Soufleris, assistant vice president for student affairs at RIT, in a statement. “Behavior like this is not tolerated on our campus. We want students, faculty and staff to feel comfortable in all environments at RIT.”

Although RIT wouldn’t say at this point what disciplinary actions are possible if Siegel is found guilty, they did say the incident would be looked into.

“Cases like this are referred to our student conduct process for serious disciplinary action,” said Soufleris.
