Remember the man in Thailand who steals shoes to have sex with them? We brought you a story sometime ago about a man who has been accused of stealing his neighbours’ flip-flops to have sex with them.
Police says that Theerapat Klaiya, 24, has a fetish for flip-flops and stole 126 pairs from locals in Nonthaburi, central Thailand.
Officers identified Klaiya using footage from CCTV set up outside his latest alleged victim’s home. When they searched the man’s home, they found his sprawling collection of shoes that he claimed he had been collecting for more than two years.
According to Police claims, Klaiya said he would wear them around his home as it turned him on. He allegedly told officers that after several hours of wearing the flip-flops, he cuddled and kissed them, stripping off and rubbing them on his body, before ‘having sex with them.’
Police said his collection included dozens of different brands, sizes and colours of shoes, all of them well worn. The vast array of footwear was laid out in front of the Nonthaburi police station as part of a press conference on Monday.
Klaiya admitted three charges of nighttime theft and snatching, possessing a digital transceiver without permission, and violating the coronavirus curfew, police said.
Major Colonel Ekkaphop Prasitwattanachai told local media it was not Klaiya’s first offence for similar acts. He said,
“After we arrested the suspect, we also found out that he had already been arrested last year for stealing flip-flops in another district.
He fully admitted stealing the sandals for lewd purposes, so will be detained at the station until a court appearance for prosecutors to decide on the next part of the legal process for him.”
