Underwear thief gets prison time
NORWICH – A man stood in Chenango County Supreme Court Wednesday and said he was motivated to commit burglaries over his desire to steal woman’s lingerie.
Twenty-year-old Paul J. Hendrickson, homeless, but formerly of the Maple Grove Trailer Park in Norwich, pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted second degree burglary Wednesday after admitting he entered the home of a woman living in his neighborhood for the sole reason of stealing her, or her children’s, underwear.
Although allowed to plead to the technicality of attempted burglary, Hendrickson told the court he successfully broke-in and entered on at least on occasion, removing articles of intimate clothing from the victim’s laundry.
Chenango County Sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Richard Cobb said police later “recovered approximately two dozen articles of women’s undergarments that had been stolen from the victims.”
In the plea arrangement with the District Attorney’s Office, Supreme Court Judge Kevin M. Dowd sentenced Hendrickson to two years in state prison and three years of post-release supervision for each of the charges, to be served simultaneously. Hendrickson was also ordered to pay more than $1,400 in fees and surcharges and must now register as a sex offender for no less than 20 years.
One of the victims who appeared in the courtroom to watch Hendrickson’s sentencing said she has three daughters, ages, 10, 13 and 19, who were also victims of the crime.
District Attorney Joseph A. McBride said the oldest daughter may have been the intended victim of the burglary, but all three daughters and the mother had their “possessions and privacy violated.”
In conducting his guilty plea, Dowd asked Hendrickson’s public defender, Alan Gordon, to properly execute the plea allocution of the charges before he would accept the terms of the agreement.
“Did you attempt to break into the home?” Gordon asked his client. “Yes sir,” said Hendrickson.
“And with the intent to steal woman’s underwear?”
“Yes sir,” again replied the defendant.
Gordon said because the felony was a sexually-motivated crime, his client would have to become a registered sex offender.
“This whole thing involved the whole trailer park and it involved more than just me and my family. It affected everyone and brought a lot of the community together,” said the mother, thanking police and the DA.
“I’m just glad I can go home with my daughters and sleep easy tonight,” she added.
