The Underwear Thief

A 32-year-old man from Oregon will be spending plenty of time behind bars after stealing college girls’ underpants. And it’s not the first time. No, it’s not the second time either. Third? No, no. Keep going.

This is Sung Koo Kim’s fourth “panty theft" arrest and he’s been whacked with an 11-year prison sentence for his apparent fetish. Sound a little hefty for petty theft?

Whilst Kim’s lawyers argued that he is mentally unstable and requires medication, prosecutors said that Kim’s obsession was more than just a case of panty fetishism.

Rather, it turns out that this lingerie-loving behaviour is part of a much larger picture. A larger, more violent picture in fact. Kim has been targeting the female swim team at Oregon State University for some time and labeling the lingerie with the girls’ names. This is characteristic of many predators who keep their victim’s possessions as a prize. The prosecutors also provided evidence that thousands of violent pornographic images were downloaded on Kim’s home computer as well as a document detailing the steps and supplies needed to carry out a murder.

Sounds like the authorities intercepted just in time…

It would appear that you do more time for contemplating a crime than actually committing it...shouldn't they be equal?

I think there was a South Park episode about this... Cartman talking about the little dwarves that come into his room to steal his underwear.

that's bad, but did you see this? It seems a lot worse:

Oh my goodness Cibbo! I just read the Shoe article. Wow, what a total maniac! It's amazing how these killers and rapists have this thing about keeping the personal belongings of their victims as a trophy. Especially, when that is going to be the key evidence in proving their guilt. I guess they think they'll never get caught.

Adrian, lol, i LOVE that episode! There's some truth to it u know, I'm always losing socks and other bits and pieces. It MUST be the dwarves..

Cinico, I guess it depends on what the action or contemplated action is. It will always depend on the circumstances of the case. I think that in this case, they must have proved more than a mere contemplation of committing a violent act.

I think acts like this would usually escalate into something worse than theft. Add that to the fact that the guy was a serial offender. I say good thing he was caught early.
