Woman was sent sexually explicit videos by offender

A WANNABE topless butler sent sexually explicit videos of himself –one involving an animal – to a woman he met on Tinder.

Registered sex offender Igor Rusakov, from Coventry, sent the sick videos after speaking to the woman about a topless butler business she was setting up.

When police raided his home they found a number of indecent videos, including one he secretly filmed of a woman having a shower.

Despite pleading guilty to charges including voyeurism, possessing an extreme pornograph­ic image, making indecent videos of children and sending two indecent videos and an indecent image, Rusakov was only given a threeyear community order.

The 26-year-old, of Lower Ford Street, Hillfields, was also given 180 hours unpaid work and will have to complete a sex offender treatment programme, after entering his guilty pleas at Telford Magistrate­s’ Court.

Rusakov began chatting with the woman on Tinder and she told him about her ideas for a topless business.

Adam Warner, prosecutin­g, said he became interested and she asked him to send her topless pictures of himself.

He sent her two sexually explicit videos of himself – one of which also involved an animal – and an indecent photograph.

Mr Warner said the woman was “disgusted” and found it “distressin­g” that an animal had also been involved in one of the videos.

After she reported it to police, officers seized electronic devices from Rusakov’s home.

They found four indecent videos showing naturist activity with children, as well as a sexually explicit image of a person performing an indecent act with an animal and a recording of a woman having a shower.

Mr Warner said Rusakov was seen setting up the recording equipment before a woman was seen to take a shower. He told the court: “In a police interview he admitted to all of this but he doesn’t show much in the way of remorse or accepting it as unusual behaviour.”

Mr Warner said Rusakov admitted that an animal was involved in one of the indecent videos he sent to the woman.

Paul Nicholas, representi­ng Rusakov, said he had not contacted the woman he had sent the indecent videos and photograph to for two years, arguing a restrainin­g order was not needed.

He said Rusakov was already registered as a sex offender and had co-operated fully with police.

The magistrate­s agreed.
