Quote:Ore. Man Faces 11 Years for Panty Thefts
Sep 1, 1:22 AM (ET)
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) - Sung Koo Kim, a 32-year-old Tigard man who stole college women's underwear, has been sentenced one more time for the thefts.
After the fourth part of a four-county plea agreement, Kim faces a total of 11 years in prison.
In Benton County on Wednesday, Circuit Judge Janet Holcomb sentenced him to 31 months in prison for burglary, charges stemming from the theft of underwear and other personal items from Oregon State University residences in 2004.
He has previously been sentenced in Washington, Yamhill and Multnomah counties.
Joo and Dong Kim were at Wednesday's hearing, where their son quietly apologized. Joo said her son is mentally ill and having a difficult time in prison.
"He says most of the time he stays in his cell with a cellmate who is also mentally ill," Joo said. "He's getting medication, but he needs expert mental-health care as soon as possible."
The Kims maintain their son is no danger to anyone and has never been violent.
But Benton County prosecutors said Kim targeted the OSU women's swim team and labeled underwear and personal hygiene items with the names of the women from whom they were stolen. He also photographed himself wearing some of the underwear.
Prosecutors said that behavior, along with thousands of violent pornographic images downloaded onto his computer, is evidence of his violent obsession, prosecutors said.
In one document on Kim's computer, "we see the defendant making a list of horrific torture steps that lead to murder," according to court documents, "followed by a list of supplies to bring along to complete the tasks."
Were they thong style or gannies panties?
I dunno, but I think this thread properly belongs in the Religion forum.
Think about it....
Quote:All told, Kim pleaded guilty to 12 counts of first-degree burglary, eight counts of second-degree burglary, five counts of second-degree theft and four counts of third-degree theft in Yamhill, Washington, Multnomah and Benton counties. He also pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree encouraging child sexual abuse in Washington County, for having images of children having sex with adults on his computer.

Quote:Along with the computer images, police found more than 3,400 pairs of underwear and other pieces of women's clothing catalogued with codes for where and when Kim got it, and sometimes what the owner looked like. Police said Kim also collected and labeled dryer lint, human hair and feminine hygiene products from his burglaries.
If he was breaking into your daughter's house and stealing her underwear, tampons and hair would anyone think it was funny?
A couple of years ago a miscreant broke into my home and stole my computer, TV and my condoms. Within hours all items were recovered -- except the condoms. That BASTARD!
....."In one document on Kim's computer, "we see the defendant making a list of horrific torture steps that lead to murder," according to court documents, "followed by a list of supplies to bring along to complete the tasks.........."
This is the bit that worries me. I see sex offenders on a day to day basis. Some get their jollies from the same old stuff, others however, gradually crank it up a notch each time.
Yeah. Exactly.
This guy is pretty spooky.
Stealing undewear sounds so prankish but it is really very creepy and this guy is really very disturbed.
He was, by the way, found out after becoming a suspect in the disappearance of a young woman here (she has never been found). He has been cleared in that crime but I think that gives a good idea of how "prankish" his behavior was viewed by the police.
