“L.I. judge accused of pilfering panties from ex-intern had pockets full of others’ undies when busted: prosecutors.” Chelsia Rose Marcius and Larry McShane of The New York Daily News have this report.
Lorena Mongelli and Lia Eustachewich of The New York Post have an article headlined “Dirty panty judge raided victim’s hamper before: prosecutors.”
Craig Schneider of Newsday has an article headlined “State: Arrested Suffolk judge temporarily relieved of duties; Judge Robert Cicale broke into an East Islip neighbor’s home and had female panties in his possession when arrested, authorities said.”
And Ashley May of USA Today reports that “Judge says he is a serial underwear stealer, accused of breaking into neighbor’s home.”

To be clear, I consider this report speculative. But not impossible.
