At least one Penn State student is facing criminal charges after the annual "Mifflin Streak," during which students run naked down Mifflin Road.

Charges of open lewdness and disorderly conduct were filed in Magisterial District Justice Carmine Prestia's office Tuesday against Jeffrey Gesner (senior-aerospace engineering). Gesner was stopped by police while running nude down Mifflin Road at about 12:58 Monday morning, according to the Penn State Police report.

Six other individuals -- five males and one female -- were also apprehended by police in connection with their alleged participation in the incident, according to the police report. Their names were not released pending the filing of charges.

One male may be charged with resisting arrest in addition to open lewdness after police said he fought with several officers when they attempted to arrest him. Another could face charges of open lewdness and disorderly conduct for exposing himself in a window of Mifflin Hall, according to the police report.

A representative from Penn State Police could not be reached for comment.

Gesner said he was caught when a police officer grabbed him at the end of a human "tunnel" that forms when a streaker starts running.

"I was naked and really had nowhere to go," he said.

Gesner said he doesn't believe he should face such serious charges, but added he isn't worried about the criminal record he could face.

"I can't say I disagree that there should be a law against [streaking]," he said. "I think maybe it was an inappropriate time to enforce it."

Students have faced criminal charges before in connection with the Mifflin Streak. Four students were charged with misdemeanors -- open lewdness and disorderly conduct -- as recently as 2003 after taking part in the streak, according to Collegian archives

Vice President for University Relations Bill Mahon said students shouldn't be surprised participation in the Mifflin Streak may result in a criminal record.

"We always arrest people who walk down campus naked," Mahon said. "We host thousands of children on this campus every year."

Despite the charges, Gesner said he doesn't regret his actions.

"In like five years, I'm going to look back on my life, and I'm going to remember that and it's going to make me smile," he said. "It's things like this that make life interesting."
