A prolific sex offender who posed as a human footrest while involving teenage girls in his foot fetish is among those convicted in Suffolk’s strangest recent cases.
Samuel Creed
Samuel Creed, 26, approaching two young girls in Sudbury town centre, buying them vapes and obtaining their phone numbers.
The girls told police Creed lay on the ground pretending to be a footrest and encouraged them to put their feet on him. One said he “kept getting erections” and asked whether he could be her “personal slave”.
Prosecutors said Creed was wearing ripped trousers exposing his naked bottom, asked one girl to remove her shoe and sniffed her foot.
Creed later messaged the girls, saying “age was just a number” and suggesting one of them lose her virginity with him.
The registered sex offender, who has 40 previous convictions for 85 offences, admitted two counts of sexual communication with a child, two counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, burglary and breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
His previous offences included removing women’s shoes and massaging their feet on trains.
He was sentenced to two years in prison at Ipswich Crown Court.
Warren Hunsdon
Warren Hunsdon, 54, subjected a woman to a sustained campaign of controlling and violent abuse in Haverhill.
The court heard Hunsdon checked her phone, accused her of cheating, installed tracking applications on phones and hid a tracker in a car to monitor her movements.
He also hid the woman’s anxiety medication and, on occasions, smelled her genitals to determine whether she had touched herself.
Hunsdon, of Forest Glade, admitted controlling and coercive behaviour and two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He was jailed for 26 months and given a seven-year restraining order.
Shaun Alexander
A shoplifter used an unusual distraction tactic while targeting a Tesco store in Saxmundham.
Shaun Alexander, 43, entered the supermarket with two other men, one of whom appeared to collapse inside the store. Prosecutors said the apparent medical emergency was intended to “create a distraction” while Alexander concealed a £23 bottle of vodka in his jacket.
It was his second visit that day: he had earlier stolen a £23 bottle of Famous Grouse whisky. Days later, he returned and took a £2.50 alcoholic mixer.
Alexander, of Farrow Close, Leiston, also admitted being drunk and disorderly after standing in the road, flagging down cars and repeatedly trying to kiss a police officer’s arm.
He pleaded guilty and was ordered to return to court for sentence.
Jano Akkuratov
Jano Akkuratov rendered himself unconscious after headbutting a police car with enough force to smash its window.
The 42-year-old became aggressive as officers arrested him at his home in Huntingfield, near Halesworth. He “launched” himself into the rear passenger window, lost consciousness for about five seconds and then suffered a seizure.
After he calmed down, officers searched his vehicle and found a 29-inch samurai sword in the boot.
Akkuratov admitted criminal damage and possessing a bladed article. He was ordered to pay £615 in fines, costs, compensation and a victim surcharge, and the sword was ordered to be destroyed.
Matthew Arbon
Matthew Arbon left police with an almost £200 cleaning bill after smearing his own excrement around a cell.
Matthew Arbon also spat so much phlegm at an officer that it covered “most” of one side of his face.
A magistrate called the attack “really nasty”, while the officer said he had been spat at before but was surprised by the “volume”.
Arbon was given an 18-month community order including rehabilitation work and 100 days of abstinence from alcohol. He was ordered to pay £187 towards cleaning the cell and £200 compensation to the officer.
