Foot Fetishist Arrested For Stealing, Having Sex With 100 Pairs Of Flip-Flops

A Thai man has been arrested after his shoe obsession got taken to an unhealthy extreme.

According to Newsflare, officials from Nonthaburi, Thailand, say they received dozens of complaints from locals about stolen shoes. CCTV footage revealed the perpetuator to be 24-year-old Theerapat Klaiya. When authorities apprehended the man, they recovered 126 pairs of flip-flops that he later admitted to collecting over a two-year period.

Klaiya told police how he would first put on the sandals to arouse himself, and then would kiss and caress them, before rubbing them all over his naked body and having sex with the shoes.

He pleaded guilty to three charges of nighttime theft and was also found guilty of possessing a digital transceiver without permission, as well as violating COVID-19 curfew. Thai Police Major Colonel Ekkaphop Prasitwattanachai says Theerapat will remain in custody until his sentencing. And if that wasn’t the icing on the cake, Ekkaphop revealed, “We also found out that he had already been arrested last year for stealing flip-flops in another district.”
