When I was an undergraduate at the University of Illinois, we had this
guy nicknamed the "enema bandit." He would break into the rooms of
unsuspecting coeds, tie them to a chair, and instead of raping them,
would give them an enema and leave. He apparantly got off on the idea
of the enema taking effect with the victim tied to the chair. They
finally caught him after a period of a few months.

I think we should forward to above information to the bandit's
lawyer. Obviously, the man was just trying to bring some health
to these poor young coeds, and they should have thanked him
instead of prosecuting him.
