Ronald A. Dotson
» Fetish and the Law
You don’t think of a fetish as something that normally causes a man to be locked up in prison for the rest of his life. But that may be the fate of Ronald Dotson whose repeated crimes against property cause him to be classified as a habitual offender who can be given a life sentence.
Dotson was arrested Oct. 9 after police say he smashed a window at a cleaning-supply company to get at a female mannequin dressed in a black and white French maid’s uniform. He had been out of prison for less than a week.
Dotson was arrested in Ferndale in July 2000 and later convicted for breaking and entering at a women’s clothing shop to get at a mannequin in a pink dress with bobbed hair.
Ferndale police also arrested Dotson in 1993 after finding him in an alley behind a woman’s store with three lingerie-clad mannequins. He also has similar convictions in Detroit and suburban Oak Park.

More than a century ago, early sexologists like Binet and Krafft-Ebing had to desice if men like this were criminal or just insane. You’d think we would have learned the difference by now. I hope there’s some kind of psychiatric evaluation for his trial.
