A man who raided bedrooms and washing lines on the remote Isles of Scilly to amass a collection of women's underwear has been banned from the islands for seven years.
Andrew Stephan, 42, was also barred from entering a house without invitation for seven years and ordered to serve 150 hours of community service.
Police said the father of two stole 160 pairs of panties and various sex toys from homes on the island of St. Mary's off the coast of England's southwestern tip.
Stashes of women's underwear and sex toys were found in the house that he once shared with his estranged wife when her new boyfriend pried apart floorboards looking for water pipes.
Underwear continued to turn up around the house and in the garden shed over the next few months.
Judge Paul Darlow said Stephan had broken the long-standing trust unique to small communities such as St. Mary's, where crime is uncommon.
Defense attorney Llewellyn Sellick said Stephan felt "deeply ashamed" of what he had done.
