Man found guilty of stealing female students' underwear from St. Edward's University laundry room

AUSTIN, Texas - A man has been found guilty of stealing women's underwear out of a laundry room at St. Edward's University in South Austin.

Jacob Dale Davidson, 27, was found guilty Wednesday on charges of burglary of a building, says a release from the Travis County District Attorney's Office. He was sentenced to 18 months in state jail.

Davidson was accused of breaking into the laundry room of a community building at St. Edward's University in October 2019 and stealing underwear from female student athletes. The release says witnesses saw him several times in and around the laundry room and a student caught him climbing through the laundry room window and took pictures of him that she turned over to the university police department.

Another student saw Davidson in his car and gave the license plate number to campus police who caught Davidson with piles of underwear in his car, says the release.
