A kinky father has admitted to dressing himself and his sex doll in lingerie he stole from unsuspecting women during a five-year rampage.

Joshua Murrell, 34, from Reservoir, north of Melbourne, pleaded guilty Monday to stealing more than 5,000 pieces of clothing, mostly women’s underwear, from clothing lines during his long spree.

Melbourne Magistrates Court heard detectives found women’s underwear stacked knee-high inside Murrell’s bedroom, with more than 1,000 items stuffed under her bed.

Appearing from his cell inside Melbourne Assessment Prison, the ponytailed man, who sports a tattoo on his bicep showing the 3073 postcode of the suburb he headed to, showed no emotion when a summary of the incident was read. six pages describing his depravity.

Some of his victims had tuned in at the hearing to hear his harrowing victim impact statements read to Judge Meagan Keogh.

Murrell was caught only after one of his victims caught him on CCTV cameras she had set up after her underwear was repeatedly stolen in the dead of night.

The police prosecutor, Chief Constable Maddie Shipley, told the court that police had found video footage of Murrell raping a sex doll with homemade sex toys while he and she were both dressed in the stolen underwear.

Upon her arrest, Murrell claimed she had the doll for “just a little cuddle fun.”

The court heard that Murrell admitted to stealing countless pairs of underwear from clothing lines.

‘I have a problem and I need help. I’ve been doing it for years,” she told detectives.

‘I am disgusted. There is no excuse.

Murrell pleaded guilty to multiple counts of stalking, robbery, handling the proceeds of crime and possession of an imitation firearm.

Joshua Murrell told police that he was disgusted with himself.

Lead Agent Shipley said Murrell had filmed himself playing with the imitation gun, which by all accounts looked like the real thing.

Among her sick hoard of stolen loot were handbags, bras, underwear, gym tights, shoes, and various other types of women’s clothing.

Numerous items were damp or moldy and several items still had pegs on them. A large number of items were soiled…several items had what appeared to be semen stains on the fabric,” Police Chief Shipley said.

The court heard that many of Murrell’s victims believed they were going insane after years of their underwear disappearing.

A woman was so convinced she was going crazy that she took a photo of her clothesline after hanging up her lingerie.

She moved after coming home to discover they had been stolen.

The court heard that many of Murrell’s victims believed they were going insane after years of their underwear going missing.

Murrell had targeted women living a short distance from his own home, one of whom lived just 1,500 feet away.

Dressed in black, the court heard that Murrell would sneak into his victims’ backyards in the early hours of the morning to steal their underwear.

He was caught on CCTV masturbating under the clothesline of one of the victims.

Another claimed that he had tried to get into her clothes to steal her dirty underwear from the basket.

Murrell’s attorney, Cameron Baker, argued that his client should be released from jail on a community corrections order after time has expired.

Baker claimed that Murrell had suffered from a history of family violence as a child, which reduced his moral culpability.

The court heard that Murrell had been abusing drugs and alcohol, leading to his “impulsive behaviour”.

He will likely be sentenced at a date to be set after being evaluated for a community order.
