<p>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. </p>

<p>Police say Lohman told them he targeted only Asian females.</p>

<p>Princeton Borough police charged a Princeton University graduate student Wednesday in connection with more than 50 incidents of harassment targeting Asian women on the Princeton University campus.
Michael J. Lohman, 28, of Butler Avenue was charged with two counts of recklessly endangering another person, two counts of tampering with a food product, one count of harassment and one count of theft. Butler Avenue is part of the Princeton University's Butler Apartments complex off South Harrison Street, and police identified Mr. Lohman as a graduate student. He is associated with the applied and computational mathematics department.
Investigators linked a report from an Asian woman who said an unidentified man cut a lock of her hair March 11 while she was riding a shuttle on Washington Road to reports of a white man seen pouring an unknown substance into women's drinks, according to police.
Mr. Lohman is believed to have placed his own bodily fluids into drinks being consumed by Asian women at various locations on the Princeton University campus, police said. Most of the incidents occurred in the Graduate College dining hall.
He also may have squirted body fluids on Asian women riding the university shuttle on many occasions, police said.
Mr. Lohman also stole clothing from Asian women on campus, according to police. Women's underwear and numerous mittens were recovered during a search of his apartment, police said.
Police said he was transported to the Capital Health Systems at Fuld for evaluation, and he still is in police custody.
The borough police department is requesting that individuals who suspect they might have been a victim contact Detective Sgt. Nicholas Sutter at (609) 921-8108.</p>

<p>Absolutely disgusting. I hope they do something to him that will allow him no longer to be able to eject those sorts of bodily fluids.</p>

<p>Read this on MSN. Very disturbing.</p>

<p>very disturbing. I can't believe those perverts get accepted to a school as PRINCETON!</p>

<p>Something to keep in mind, West Sidee? </p>

<p>What exactly would that be? That we live on a planet where criminals and creeps commit acts of violence, and that we are unfortunately not immune whether in schools in Minnesota, office buildings in NYC, or safe university campuses? When you find a more perfect dwellable planet, please let me know.</p>

<p>The police at Princeton launched an investigation from an incident on a bus where this creep cut a lock of a woman's hair. They were able to place Lohman on this bus and to link this investigation to another of someone seen tampering with a drink. The witness to the drink incident identified Lohman. Lohman confessed upon interrogation. None of his colleagues suspected anything, nor reportedly anyone from his undergraduate institution, from whence he came with very strong recommendations. </p>

<p>When arrested he was charged with multiple crimes including reckless endangerment, harassment, food tampering, and theft, with other charges pending. President Tilghman swiftly banned him from campus.
I'd worry more about where he'll end up next than that he'd be at Princeton again. Perhaps an institution for the criminally insane? </p>

<p>In any case, parents of young women, and young women themselves, would do well to remind one another not to walk alone at night, to be careful of drinks, to lock doors especially at night--and beyond these sorts of things, live life and enjoy it.</p>

<p>Gross story, but I can't for the life of me figure out what a family should take away from this story to "keep in mind" for one's daughters during the college search.</p>

<p>^ Princeton does not take too kindly to minorities in terms of having "equal status in all respects" as others.</p>
