A deranged man has vented his anger on strangers by throwing his foul-smelling semen stored in liquid bottles on them.
Accused: Christoper Hinds
A man was arrested by the police for throwing liquids containing his own semen at three people outside a Middletown shopping center.
Christopher Hinds, 38, of Port Jervis had been indicted on multiple charges including criminal mischief as a hate crime, a felony, but ultimately pleaded guilty on Tuesday in Orange County Court to third-degree sexual abuse and two counts of fourth-degree criminal mischief and misdemeanors.
The hate crime designation was based on his targeting the victims based on gender.
Middletown police arrested Hinds on July 13 following three incidents at the Campbell Plaza on Dolson Avenue, on June 16, July 2 and July 7.
On each date, officials say, Hinds approached a victim near the ShopRite and threw a foul-smelling liquid on her from a hand sanitizer bottle he was carrying. The fluid contained Hinds' semen.
Hinds is being held in Orange County Jail in lieu of $25,000 cash bail or $100,000 bond pending sentencing on December 17. If convicted, he will serve two consecutive one year sentences for the crime.
