Background
Info sourced from the Court of Appeal document
"The pre-sentence report described the appellant as having a "propensity for predatory sexual behaviour" and went on:

... and given that he has already been engaged in an intensive rehabilitative programme, his risk of re-offending is assessed as very high. This risk is particularly of concern when an established sex offender such as John Rowe is also committing Burglaries."

The report also referred to a propensity for violence and offence-related sexual arousal (in particular, a thrill associated with the covert pursuit of victims prior to offending).
