Recorder of Nottingham :
"…the emerging pattern of offending, the two domestic burglaries one with the sexual element with Mr. Lunkov lying on the bed, leading to the burglary with the sexual assault is a classic example of sexual offending behaviour. It is also important that alcohol was not a feature in the previous domestic burglaries as this would strengthen the case that Mr. Lunkov was intentionally targeting lone women and building up to a sexual offence. This is very concerning in terms of dangerousness"
"…it is concerning that he has moved from having no convictions to
a number of offences that have escalated in seriousness over a
short period of time and that there appears to be an emerging pattern
of offending behaviour with regards to entering occupied houses.
It is also of concern that as well as minimizing much of his offending
he appears very detached from his behaviour lacking any emotion and
awareness around the impact of his offending on the victims. These offences caused not only physical and sexual harm but also had a deep psychological impact on the victims. I am also concerned that despite attributing alcohol to being behind the sexual offence, Mr Lunkov has taken no steps to address this issue and remains unmotivated to do so. It is for these reasons that I assess Mr. Lunkov as posing a high risk of harm to females sleeping in their homes"
