A Jacksonville man was sentenced Wednesday for breaking into his former classmate’s San Marco condo last year while wearing women’s clothes.
On Wednesday it took the judge 15 minutes to sentence Paul Kartsonis to 6 years in state prison for armed burglary.
The 32-year-old was also given another 10 years for stalking and possession of burglary tools.

“Molly I just wanted to say that I am deeply sorry for what I did to you,” he said.
Kartsonis pleaded guilty in December to breaking into her condo with handcuffs, a taser, and a knife although the victim wasn't home at the time.
According to a police report obtained by Action News Jax, he stole the woman’s bra, underwear and dress and was found wearing them underneath his clothing when police arrived along with prosthetic silicone breasts.
Police said they also found a used condom on the victim’s bed when he was arrested in May.
During his sentencing hearing last week Kartsonis told the judge he went to the victim’s home because he knew she wasn't there even though he told an officer he had been watching her for weeks and fanaticizing about her.
On Friday Kartsonis was banned from contacting the victim, and ordered to serve 25 years’ probation, get psychiatric care and wear a GPS monitor.
The judge also said he would be required to undergo a polygraph test during his probation once a year and that all his electronic devices with internet access would also need to be monitored.
