Illinois enema bandit

[snopes]

Comment: Michael Kenyon broke into women's dormitories at the University
of Illinois at Bloomington,tied up the co-eds, robbed them, and before he
left gave each an enema!

This was reported in newspapers in the late 1970s, and was actually the
subject of both a song, The Illinois Enema Bandit, and a movie called
Waterpower.

Were these based on fact or fiction?

There is no "University of Illinois at Bloomington", but Michael Kenyon is real, and was nicknamed "the enema bandit". The song and movie are real, too.

If the wikipedia article is correct , then Michael Kenyon is a free man. Makes you wonder what happened to him.
