'Naked Tickler' Gets 25 Years In Prison
Police: Man Terrorized Women For Years, Left Bodily Fluids .
NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. -- A 50-year-old man who police dubbed the "naked tickler" for terrorizing women for years by sneaking into their homes and tickling them was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Police said Thomas Blacine would leave bodily fluids at the homes of women in the New Smyrna Beach area while they slept.
In one case, Blacine recorded himself urinating into a jug of milk inside a victim's home, investigators said.
Blacine was initially arrested in October and confessed into breaking into homes and videotaping victims while they slept, Local 6 reported.
A police dog tracked Blacine's scent to a sport utility vehicle parked near the 700 block of East Second Street after a woman said she was fondled in her sleep.
"I felt something on my leg and thought it was my cat and I look up and it was this naked guy," Combs said after the latest attack. "And he ran again."
Earlier, Blacine pleaded guilty to burglary and possession of narcotics.
