  From Private Eye, quoting the Shropshire Star

"My client has been seeking medical help for his condition", solicitor
Anthony Muller told Wolverhampton Crown Court, "and apologises for any
offence his behaviour has caused.  But the fact is that, for several years
now, he has been in the grip of a compulsion, and can only find sexual
fulfilment by simulating sex in public with bin liners."

Muller was defending Karl Watkins, 23, an electrician who had pleaded
guilty to seven charges of outraging public decency.  "My client's fetish
centres on the feel and touch of a bin liner.  It started when, as a
child, he used to get into a crouching position, push the pedal of the
flip bin and rapidly spank himself with the lid.  For some time, he has
been prowling the streets at night, and the police have often surprised
him in wheelie bins, and even in the backs of dust carts.  In fact, his
absolute sexual fantasy is to be inside a dustcart, naked, when the bin
bags are crushed.  He very much regrets the incidents on pavements in
Halesowen, Stourbridge, Blackheath and Brierly Hill, all of which involved
him standing in front of teenage schoolgirls with his trousers and pants
around his ankles, and simulating sex with bin bags.

Judge Malcolm Ward placed Watkins on probation for three years, on
condition that he took bromide or an equivalent drug to reduce his high
sex drive.  His girlfriend said she would stand by him, on condition that
he no longer helped her to put out the garbage.
