Florida man says he had sex with stolen pool toys instead of raping women
A Florida burglary suspect told police that he’s stolen a number of inflatable pool toys so he could have sex with them instead of raping women, a report said.
The suspect, 35-year-old Christopher William Monnin, allegedly broke into a number of homes in the city of Palm Bay in Brevard County that have private pools and stole the inflatables, the Miami Herald reported, citing a police report from the sheriff’s office.
The “defendant stated that he sexually gratifies himself with the pool floats instead of raping women,” an arrest report for Monnin read, according to the Herald.
There have been at least 13 burglaries reported in the area in which inflatable pool toys were stolen, according to the report. Monnin is suspected in all of the thefts, the Herald reported.
Police tracked him down on June 5 and stopped him while he was riding a bike with a garbage bag full of deflated pool toys.
Monnin brought police to a vacant house in Palm Bay where he stores the inflatables. There were about 75 of the toys in the house, according to the report.
His arraignment is set for July 16.
