A representative from the Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office confirmed that Lunn, aged 32, was convicted of attempted second-degree rape.
The Baltimore County Police apprehended Lunn on October 21 in the 8100 block of Harford Road following the reported assault, which occurred on October 18 in the 3100 block of Wyman Park Drive.

She recounted that as she navigated through the quads, Lunn approached her under the pretense of asking for directions to exit the campus. After providing him the information, he walked away.
However, moments later, as she was near Clark Hall, Lunn attacked her from behind, encircling her in a “bear hug.”
Charging documents reveal that he forcefully pinned her to the ground behind a bench in the quad and began to remove her clothing but ceased his actions upon hearing footsteps from nearby individuals and subsequently fled the scene.
Surveillance cameras captured Lunn shadowing the victim as she moved across campus, frequently hiding behind bushes.
