Jamie Thomas Lacey, 27, was high on LSD and amphetamines when he broke into the house at Millmerran in September 2004. He pleaded guilty today in the Brisbane District Court to burglary and wilful damage.
The court was told his neighbour returned home on September 29 to find her bathroom in a total state of disarray. Crown prosecutor Julie Aylward told the court pornographic magazines and clothes were strewn around the room, and that a makeshift sex aid constructed from a Toilet Duck bottle, a piece of wood and a latex glove had also been left behind. The woman's vacuum cleaner had also been left in the bathroom.
Lacey's defence barrister, Shaun Gordon, argued there was no proof his client had used the vacuum cleaner as a sex aid, but Judge Tony Rafter said it was unlikely it had been used for cleaning. "I'm sure that your client didn't hoover the carpets,'' he said.
Police attended Lacey's house just days after the incident was reported. During the search police uncovered a black carry bag filled with condoms, gloves, creams and a tapered wooden stick. Lacey told police it was his "masturbation bag'', but denied any knowledge of the burglary. He was arrested in December 2006 after police finally matched his DNA to that found on the latex glove attached to the Toilet Duck bottle.
