Penn State police on Tuesday filed charges against a former Nittany Lion men’s basketball player accused of secretly recording sexual encounters with a woman and showing the videos to others.
Miles L. Goodman, 19, is charged with five misdemeanor counts of invasion or privacy and one misdemeanor count of unlawful dissemination of an intimate image. Goodman has not been with the basketball program since entering the transfer portal earlier this spring.
The woman learned from a friend on May 2 that a day earlier Goodman came to his apartment and showed the video to him and another man after asking who she was currently dating, according to the affidavit. She told police that during her relationship with Goodman she never consented to, or even discussed, recording intimate acts and had no knowledge the videos existed until she was informed by her friend, police wrote.
The friend confirmed the account in an interview with police, adding that he did not ask or want to see the video and was alarmed that Goodman showed it to him.
Goodman initially told police that he did not have videos that showed him and the woman having sex, but later showed officers a video of the two engaged in intercourse that he recorded using Snapchat, according to the affidavit. Asked why he showed the video to others, Goodman allegedly said it was because he was jealous that the woman was seeing other men.
Police executed a search warrant on Goodman’s phone and extracted four videos and a photograph that the woman confirmed depicted her and Goodman engaged in sexual activity, according to the affidavit. She told police she felt upset, embarrassed and vulnerable that the recordings were made without her knowledge and shown to others.
Goodman was charged via summons, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 11.
A freshman during the 2024-25 season, Goodman entered the transfer portal in March and reportedly committed to Oregon in April.
“We were recently made aware of the allegations against former men’s basketball student-athlete Miles Goodman,” Penn State Athletics wrote in a statement provided to StateCollege.com. “These alleged actions do not reflect the values and standards of our department. Miles has not been a member of the Penn State Basketball team since entering the transfer portal in March.”
A center from Seattle who played high school ball at Southern California Academy, Goodman was a four-star recruit and the highest rated member of Penn State’s 2024 signing class. He averaged 1.2 points and 1.4 rebounds in 13 games during his freshman year with the Nittany Lions.
