Bogus Yoga Expert Jailed For Sex Attacks

A heating engineer, who sexually assaulted three women in their own homes after also claiming he was a yoga expert, has been caged for four years.

Kyno Hunt, 32, (pictured) of Chase Court Gardens, Enfield, North London was also placed on the official Sex Offenders’ Register for life.

He was convicted at Wood Green Crown Court of sexually assaulting three women in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire; Broxbourne, Hertfordshire and Enfield on February 7; April 28 and September 9, 2008.

The court heard Hunt was employed as a heating engineer who attended addresses by prior arrangement in order to fix/maintain the heating system.

On two of the three occasions he engaged the female occupier in conversation, casually mentioning that he was a yoga teacher.

He encouraged them to assume a yoga position, which required them to get down on all fours.

He used this as an opportunity to come into physical contact with the victim, sexually assaulting them in the process.

During the incident in April Hunt encouraged the second victim to crouch on her hands and knees in order to get a better view of the airing cupboard.

He then sexually assaulted her.

In September the third victim reported the incident to police and an investigation was launched by officers from the Enfield Sapphire Unit.

Hunt was identified and arrested on 3 October and as a result of further inquiries the remaining two offences came to light and Hunt was later additionally charged.

Detective Inspector Daniel Smith, of Sapphire, said: “Hunt is clearly a manipulative and brazen individual who preyed on women, abusing his position and assaulting the victims in their own homes.

“My team of officers in Sapphire are committed to tackling serious sexual assault and ensuring those responsible are held accountable for their actions.

“I would encourage anyone who believes they may have been a victim of Hunt to contact my team on 020 8345 4326.”
