Description
A pervert florist committed a sex attack on a teenager at a hotel after she attended a Calvin Harris concert.
Kaeleb Thomas, 21, pounced on the then 19-year-old at Glasgow city centre's Jury's Inn on July 3 2022.
The victim had been at the Hampden Park gig with her friend before she met up with Thomas and his friend, who she knew, at the hotel room.
Court papers state Thomas sexually assaulted the teenager by repeatedly placing his hand underneath her shorts.
Thomas, of Livingston, West Lothian, went on to touch her inappropriately over her underwear.
He then touched her legs, sat astride her and kissed her on the neck.
On two occasions Thomas performed a sex act on her.
Thomas was found guilty on Tuesday by a jury of the single charge at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
Alan Jackson, defending, told the court that his client is a first offender who has worked as a florist for two years.
Sheriff Tony Kelly said: "You were convicted of a serious charge which puts you at risk of custody in light of its seriousness."
Sentence was deferred pending background reports until next month.
Thomas is now subject to sex offenders requirements and was granted bail meantime.
