A married father who masturbated on a woman's underwear in "a moment of madness" while doing building work on her home was caught using a DNA match.
Paul Hook, 49, had been subcontracted as a builder and was working with others at the property when the woman allowed him into the conservatory to use the electricity supply for power tools, Truro magistrates heard.
But she did not say he could go anywhere else in her home, Alison May, for the CPS, said.
However when she returned from work later that day she discovered that a pair of knickers in a drawer in her bedroom were wet and reported it to the police.
A forensic examination revealed semen on the underwear which proved to be a one in a billion match to Hook, of Paul, Penzance.
His victim told the police she felt violated by what had happened in her own home at St Just and was scared and confused because of the oddness of the behaviour.
Hook pleaded guilty to damaging her underwear to the value of £10 on May 10.
He told Truro magistrates: "I am disgusted with myself. This has never happened before and will never happen again."
Probation officer Maggs Hopwood said Hook, a married man with a teenage daughter, admitted sexual activity with the woman's underwear, saying it had been " a moment of madness". He was disgusted with himself and regretful.
Hook was given a community order for a year and told to do 40 hours of unpaid work. The magistrates made a restraining order preventing him from contacting the woman or going to her address. He had to pay £170 costs and charges.
