Tampon Maniac
• Sex Crime
In Groningen, Holland a man digs through trash bags for additions to his collections of tampons discarded by young women.
The fetishist has been active for at least the last six months and has been regularly spotted searching through garbage outside student dorms. It is not known what he does with the items he collects.
And we may be happier in our ignorance.
He has left letters for several of his ‘victims’. Citing the interests of the investigation, the police spokesperson refused to disclose the contents of the letters, but said they included a play on words.
Only one female student has lodged a criminal complaint so far, but it is expected that two others will come forward shortly. Police hope to be in a position to detain the man shortly for harassment and threatening behaviour. Opening and rummaging through other people’s garbage only carries a fine.
