 A Hamilton woman attacked her teenage son while he was at work after he missed his curfew and she saw a lovebite on his neck. Huia Dawn Te Pou, 32, admitted the November assault when she appeared in Hamilton District Court on Friday and was fined $200 and sentenced to six months supervision, the Waikato Times reported. Te Pou became violent after spotting the lovebite on the 15-year-old's neck, her lawyer Len Caley said. She pushed him out the back of the Grandview Mall, where he worked in a supermarket, and punched him in the face and chest. Te Pou then dragged the boy back through the store and sat on him out the front of the mall to stop him escaping. Witnesses called police who found Te Pou holding her son against a fence. He had blood on his head and looked dizzy, the court was told. The boy has since moved in with his grandparents in Rotorua.

 ALLIANCE, OH -- Over the last three years female students at Mount Union College in Alliance have been reporting robberies. These were not your usual robberies.
"The thief has been stealing women's underwear, diaries, photos and lotions," says Alliance police Sgt. D.W. Bair.
On Wednesday they think they found their man, and when they raided the home of 25-year-old Thomas Williams, they couldn't believe their eyes.
"It was unlike anything I have ever seen," Bair said.
They seized over 250 pairs of women's underwear, dozens of stolen photos, diaries, lotions and film.
"According to a retired FBI profiler, this was his fetish, his fantasy," Bair said.
There is no evidence that he assaulted any of these women, believed to total 20 victims in all. But, police were alarmed at what they found in a travel bag.
"We found a rope, duct tape and handcuffs. And nearby, we found a stolen handgun. These items have a specific purpose -- we don't know exactly what that purpose is, but you can draw your own conclusion," Bair said.
The victims were all female students at Mount Union, and all of them lived in off campus housing.
On campus, many female students didn't even know about the break-ins or the arrest.
"The talk of campus is swine flu, not this. In fact, this is the first time I've even heard about it," says Mount Union student Alissa Fetsko.
Williams was charged with receiving stolen goods, and bailed himself out of jail Thursday morning.
Police ask anyone who thinks they were a victim, or know someone who has been to call Alliance Police. ©2009 WKYC. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, rewritten, or redistributed.
