He’s accused of stealing over 30 pairs of a woman’s underpants and he faced a judge for the first time Wednesday.

Bond for Aaron Otto, 32, of Newburgh was set at $40,000 or $4,000 as well as a no-contact order.

Police say Otto broke into a woman’s home while she was away and stole the underpants. Investigators say fingerprints linked Otto to several sexually obscene notes written on women’s cars at the University of Southern Indiana.

Police believe those same fingerprints helped link Otto to a burglary case back in 2014 as well.

He’s due back in court February 6th.
