An associate professor in a Chinese university who nicked bras and panties pleaded guilty to stealing women's underwear from a university dormitory. The 39-year old man was charged for taking women's underwear from a university hostel's clothes-line last December, the Straits Times reported. The Singaporean professor, who teaches in China, was in the city-state for his leave when he committed the crime. He was caught by a dormitory security guard who found female undergarments in his haversack. A lawyer for the professor said his client suffers from a psychiatric disorder and has been taking women's underwear since he was 14.
