Sex offender jailed for stealing hair – 05 Mar 2007 – Crime News – NZ Herald — $10 says this guy is on Second Life too.
A sex offender and airline baggage courier who stole women’s hair to satisfy a fetishism has been jailed by a Melbourne judge for at least two years.
Rodney Lyle Petersen, 30, of Wallan, has pleaded guilty to 50 counts of theft of women’s hair that he stole and collected from the baggage of Qantas passengers.
Sentencing him in the Victorian County Court Judge Jennifer Coate also reinstated a previously suspended prison term imposed for Petersen’s attempted rape conviction in 2004. The court heard Petersen would pull over in his courier van and rummage through the lost or delayed luggage that he was returning to Qantas passengers.
The courier collected the pubic and head hair from brushes and underwear in the baggage putting it in plastic slips and recording the owner’s personal details in an exercise book.
Petersen suffered from a range of sexual deviancies including fetishism, sexual sadism and frotteurism, an unusual condition in which sexual satisfaction is gained by actual or fantasised rubbing up against another person, the court heard.
Yuk.

Har har, oh my god, har
What more can anyone say.
This is about as deviant as it gets, but is it really theft? That implies the victims were going to retrieve their hair from their brushes and panties later, and use them for what – toupees?
At best, I think it’s invasion of privacy.
I don’t think jail is a good place for this guy. He should be herding sheep, far far away from any civilization. Which reminds me:
Isn’t it about time we find an island WAY out in the middle of the ocean, and designate it a permanent global prison colony?
He can clean my brushes anytime he wants. I hate having to pick my wifes hair out of a brush before I can use it.
#2, the penal colony thing was already done, it was called Australia.
