A JUDGE branded a serial offender as a potential danger to women when he jailed him for 20 months for sexually abusing a student in a Southampton supermarket.

David Lunn, 28, pictured, distracted the 20-year-old as she was approaching him on stairs in the Asda city centre store before groping her.

He then dropped his trousers when she walked past him on the street outside.

Lunn, of no fixed abode, admitted sexual assault and exposure.

He further pleaded guilty to stealing £190 from a cashpoint machine after taking an acquaintance’s bank card.

Daily Echo:

The court heard Lunn had 36 previous convictions for 78 offences, 11 of which were for sex related offences.

As the judge told him that he was probably unaware of the affect he would have had on his victim, Lunn interrupted, shouting. “Yes, I can.”

He then bawled: “You’re wasting my time. I just want to be sentenced.”

In addition to the jail term, Lunn was also placed on the sex offenders register for 10 years.
