Worst Landlord Of The Year Has Been Announced

Cops: Pennsylvania man, 67, pleasured self in woman's home

DECEMBER 8--A Pennsylvania landlord snuck into his tenant’s apartment and masturbated on the female victim’s dirty clothing, a vile act that was recorded by a motion-activated security camera inside the residence.

Thomas Fallon, 67, has been charged with burglary and criminal trespass, both felonies, and criminal mischief in connection with the incident at a residence in Castle Shannon, a Pittsburgh suburb.

Fallon, president of an electrical contracting firm, was arrested earlier this month and is scheduled for a December 12 preliminary hearing in District Court. According to a criminal complaint, the victim lives in an apartment that shares an address with Fallon’s company.

The victim told police that she recently purchased a “Wi-Fi enabled security system and placed cameras in her bedroom” due to suspicions that “someone had been going through her personal effects, specifically her clothing” over the past few months.

The woman contacted police last Friday after receiving an alert on her phone reporting that the security system had detected motion in her bedroom. The system captured a series of still images showing Fallon “in a state of undress” inside the victim’s bedroom, a police officer reported.

The photos showed that Fallon had “his penis exposed and was masturbating into the victim’s soiled clothing which she wore yesterday,” alleges the complaint, which notes that the woman identified Fallon, her landlord, as the man in the photos.

When Fallon was later interviewed by police, he acknowledged entering the woman’s apartment that morning without giving her notice, but claimed that he was “present to fix a hot water heater.”

Fallon reportedly denied having entered the woman’s bedroom while making the purported repair. But when a cop presented Fallon with “photos of him pleasuring himself onto the victim’s clothing,” the landlord “terminated the interview.”

He was fixing a hot water heater alright, the one in his pants. He should serve time and be forced to pay the woman's relocation costs.

I can't even begin to fathom what the mindset of these people is and almost like serial killers holds a certain fascination.

Disturbing does net even begin to describe this sort of stuff, yet I am always left wondering how a mind gets to the point it justifies this sort of thing to itself.

I don't think our criminal justice system does enough to delve into what causes people to act this way. It seems to me that putting people into some half-way facility and deeply analyzing behavior would ultimately be a lot cheaper than our current prison system anyway.

How do they get to that point? Obviously the vast majority of people never get there what triggers this in these people.

Is there a trigger or are they hardwired that way from the get go. I do not think we pay nearly enough attention to the mental health aspect of these things and their causes.

..... Looks real dapper in the black suit and orange neck tie.

Did he leave his cum on her bedroom door knob ? What a sick pig. When all is said and done this woman should be the new owner of this apartment building and she should evict him off the property.

How many other tenants without cameras has he been doing this with over the years?

I hope they come forward. This loser needs to pay.
