Judge wants ‘underwear bandit’ to be treated for fetish
TWINSBURG — A Twinsburg man who admitted to breaking into homes and stealing women’s worn undergarments is a free man Thursday.
Prosecutors in the Remigio Abello case asked the judge for jail time. So did a number of victims who say they now live in fear because their homes were broken into.
Today, Abello told the judge he’s being treated for his fetish and then he apologized to his victims.
“I never intended to harm anybody,” Abello said. “I realize my actions caused people to fear their safety and for that I truly am sorry.”
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Janet Burnside sentenced Abello to five years of community control.
The judge told the victims she thought prison may not keep him from repeating his crimes when he got out. She wants him to be treated for his fetish saying the com
munity will be better served if Abello gets psychological help.
